At work my company has given me Outlook 2003.
To be honest, the most decent version of the software I've seen.
It has a VERY nice feature....
I can drag any folder to a small "favorites" pane and by doing that,
re-arrange the sort order.
My regulary used folders are draged to favorites and the original tree I
can ignore.
Evo is getting closer and closer to being THE best mailer out there!! Keep
up the good work!!!

I'll just add my 5c to this.
My particular beef (OK, *one* of them :-)
is that the folder list is always
lexically ordered, and this ordering
even applies to "special" folders, by
which I mean those that Evo
already knows about, such as Inbox, Trash and
Junk. Ideally I'd like to
be able to arrange all folders in whatever order
I like (while
respecting the hierarchy) but failing that it should at least
be
possible to put these and maybe some others like Sent and Drafts up
at
the top of the list. I have a large tree and spend way too much
time
scrolling and hunting for stuff visually.
Just because
Mozilla/Thunderbird, MacOS Mail, Kmail and AFAIK all the
commercial MUAs do
something along these lines isn't a reason *not* to
do
it.
