Yes this helped, thanks a lot.

Oops, indeed, except that it's on the "Misc" page actually. I think 
"Folder view" is a more logical place for it.

Also, now it does open a folder when I move cursor to it, but it also 
jumps focus to the message window at once, which I don't need. And it 
tries to open it immediately, which may take some time if it's big. For 
these two reasons it is nearly impossible to go from folder A to folder 
B using keyboard if there are several other folders between them in the 
list. So I think you should remove jumping to the message list panel on 
opening and add a small delay between getting focus and trying to open 
the folder, so that it is possible to navigate in the tree panel using 
keyboard.

For scrolling. Now when you are in the message list, page down/up works 
on the message itself if it is long, but up/down works on the list 
itself, which is really confusing. If I see three panels, I want to be 
able to visit all of them to be able to scroll within each one 
independently.

A few more points:

- Could not find a way to change text color of the folder tree, only 
background. I changed the two other panels to black background/white 
text, but I can't do the same in the tree view because text is always black.

- I found no way to configure what is run when I open an attachment. The 
helpers page only sets the browser and the editor. For attachments, it 
launches Internet Explorer (yuck!). I think this must be configurable too.

- One great feature that I'm missing a lot (it was in the old Netscape 
mail) is being able to go back and forth along the sequence of messages 
that were read recently, even across folders. The keys that correspond 
to a browser's back and forward could be used for this, that is alt-left 
and alt-right. If you could implement this simple feature it would be 
great. Saving the message view history across sessions would be even better.

- There's no way to see if a long message contains an attachment, other 
than by scrolling to its end. I think all messages with attachments 
should be somehow marked either in the message list, or in the message 
header, or both.

- On opening a folder, I can automatically select either first/last 
message of first/last unread message. Can't I just select the message 
which was the last that I read in the previous opening of the folder? I 
think this would be the most convenient and useful option.

Also, the "folder view" page says: "...will select the first or last 
unread message depending on the next option." But the next option is 
"preview message when selected." How can it affect the "first or last" 
choice? And if that's not it, how can I decide this?
