Multiple selections sounds like a good idea :) > We should also decide if the toolbar is going to be optional. Replacing the > current view and branch selectors will make it mandatory.

Allowing it to be collapsed might be the easy solution. The way the branches in the top are displayed is a bit messy, I wouldn't mind dropping it completely :) > The sidebar makes it way easier to visualize branch structures and move > between > branches that are far apart.

Yes, I think that's what Mail.app also has, though the "Mailboxes" button isn't in the toolbar by default. Shouldn't be too difficult to add that, or perhaps a little slide in/out button at the bottom. - Pieter
