Then it's really sporadic, I've yet to see this on any machine I'm running
e'rage on.

That's annoying, although It's far worse with IMAP than POP. But it's an
optimization issue, and you never see that in the first version. (Yes, it is
better to think of E'rage X as E'rage V.1 on OS X)

Annoying, but again, optimization issue. I imagine this will get better with
major releases.

I just tested this, didn't see it. Is this a local folder, or an imap
folder?

You can have up to 8 major windows, and many, many subwindows in E'rage, so
that wouldn't work at all.

It's not being EOL'd. Office Mac is a major source of income for MS, IE was
never a source of income.
