There is indeed a way of doing it better: what I do is to open the folder X in a separate window (right click folder in the tree, choose open) or even open just this message in a separate window (the same but click on the message). It's not very intuitive but it does work and this is something which I use a lot. AGI> If not, I have what may be a cool idea. Location marks.

It's a cool idea (because I love vi marks) but how do you propose to make it work, UI-wise, to be convenient to use? We need keys to set and jump to the marks (Ctrl-number/Ctrl-Alt-number?) or maybe some other interface for this. AGI> I even have a transitional suggestion.

I don't think you find it that useful, folder names are longer to type than going there directly and you probably won't remember more than 1-2 message numbers anyhow. IMHO this feature wouldn't be very useful.
