Thank you for the advice! That's just what I needed to know. I am
currently designing my presentation for a staff meeting regarding purchasing
iMail.
Since this is a forum where many negative things are openly discussed, I
would be interested in hearing the worst problems with iMail that I can
expect to run into if we purchase the product. I obviously shouldn't waste
mailing-list space with such stuff, so please e-mail directly to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have information to share to help my
decision, good or bad.
Thanks!

By the way, this listserv is definitely a positive mark for iMail on my
list.

This goes a bit beyond simple changes. What makes many changes tricky is
that you are now dealing with both standard stuff (HTML, JavaScript) as well
as non-standard stuff (IMail tags/control). Sometimes, you have to mix the
two, which can take talent.
My solution to the problem you mention is to split the main menu into two
different "pages" (one .HTML file, that displays the list of mailboxes, but
if a certain field is added to the URL it will instead show the options).
The Options page will always show all the available options, I took out the
tage to only display them if the "+" button has been hit.
IMail uses one of its tags to determine whether or not the options should be
expanded. You could replace that with a JavaScript variable, that would
start off as 0 (not expanded), and then instead of the "+"/"-" buttons going
to a URL, they could go to JavaScript code that would toggle the variable,
and then make appropriate changes (hide or re-display the options, change
the "+" to "-" or vice versa).
