Dan, et al... ;)
I saw the announcement of Entourage X on the Microsoft web site, including
the following graphic:

One of the cosmetic changes appears to be moving the "function" buttons out
of the Folder List and into a separate large "button" area (Mail, Address
Book, Calendar, Notes, Tasks, Custom Views).
Please, please, please (can you tell I'm begging? <grin>) tell me this is an
option. To me, who has lots of filed mail folders, this seems like a
significant waste of space, as it cuts down on the amount of visible space
allocated to the Folder List (in other words, it looks like much more space
is used for the buttons than is gained in the Folder List by removing them).
This will require significantly more scrolling and mouse movement.
I can see from the various screen shots that things are functionally
organized a bit differently in EX, necessitating this change. However, at
the very least, can the buttons be made much smaller so that the Folder List
can be enlarged? To me, a better approach would be to make the "function"
buttons the same size as the "New Message" "Forward" and "Reply" buttons,
and to place them to the left of those buttons, increasing the Folder List
to it's previous size along the left side of the window.
[separate issue]
Also, I see that some Word X editing tools are now available in Entourage.
Will Entourage X have a find/replace option?
