I had the same idea...
But I think that a nice behavior would be to have the possibility
to step back in the messages you visited, like the 'back' and
'forward' buttons of a Web browswer.
- For each folder, you keep the list of displayed messages.
Do not try to keep this list when closing M (or have it
bounded in size)
- When switching to a new folder, go either to
- unread (can be disabled)
- last read (can be disabled)
- last/first in folder
The algorithm when switching would be
if (there is an unread message &&
'unread' option is checked)
go there
else if (read-messages list not empty &&
'last read' option is checked)
go to last message read
else if ('last' option is checked)
go to last message in folder
else
go to first message
- Provide some 'back' and 'forward' buttons and/or keyboard
shortcuts.
- The 'forward' button could be equivalent to the 'go to next
unread message' if there are no more 'already visited' messages
in the current folder.
I think that this way, the usual pattern could be kept (visiting
unread messages in a simple way), while allowing to step back.
A nice touch: when switching to another folder which has unread
messages, if the user immediately hits the 'back' button, mark
the currently displayed message as unread.
