Sure it does ... but the hierarchy is only one level deep. It doesn't thread into a tree of arbitrary depth. > - it can't be stopped from marking messages as read, Huh? It marks a message as read when you read it. If you use the menus, 'message->mark->unread|read' toggles depending on the selected message's state. Command-shift-U does the same thing. > - it doesn't display what folders have new mail since they were last viewed, Huh again? Mail always tells me what folders I've told it to shuffle mail into have unread items. It doesn't mark "new unread since the last time you looked and didn't read anything' though. > - it can't have different view preferences (such as sorting or whether > threads are folded) per mailbox, Sure it does. At any time, in any folder or collection of folder's context, you can sort threads and fold them. > - it encourages top-posting, That's up to you to work out. I generally prefer top posting, but it depends on the context of the conversation. > - it doesn't display time in the list pane ... Another huh? ...
