Apple Mail also remembers selected messages from each mailbox; I imagine it fits into trying to be intuitive by displaying things in the state you left them in. I find the behavior undesirable for two reasons: unless I have literally just switched from and returned to a mailbox, I'm not likely to remember why certain messages are selected and it starts to feel like random client behavior rather than something intentional or intuitive, and I do the same thing Jan complained about in leaving undealt-with messages marked unread on purpose, which this behavior messes with. Settings to toggle this might be good, either globally or per-mailbox. For some users, I could see this behavior being useful for, say, the inbox but not elsewhere. -- Scott Dellinger Systems Architecture & Administration Enterprise Technology Services The University of Vermont -- imp mailing list Frequently Asked Questions: http://wiki.horde.org/FAQ To unsubscribe, mail: [email protected]
