Here are a few off-the-top-of-my-head responses to some of these points: >- previous/next message and delete: when reading a message, I can move to >the next unread message and send the current one to the trash. Great for >reading mail lists. Preferences > General > Shortcuts > "select next message after moving to trash". I have this turned off (my preference) but I believe enabling it will achieve what you seek...? >- view raw source of message True, PM parses out multipart messages and stores the parts in the database separately; unfortunately that's just the way it works. >- Timed schedules to purge folders: I have log messages filtered into >various folders and I have schedules that automatically delete messages >older that one 1 week. You can do this for the Trash folder automatically; Preferences > General > When quitting PM > Delete messages in the mail trash that were there for ___ days. However you cannot configure any other additional or separate schedules, or for other folders. >- Color new messages: because bold itself isn't a strong enough visual >difference. Same goes for folders with unread messages. Setup > Mail Filters... > create a filter which operates on all incoming mail and performs a "Set Label To" action with the desired colour. >- offline mode Eh? What does this mean? PM stores everything in a local database; you do not need network access to work with your mail. Can you elaborate? >- hovering over a concatenated field in a list brings up a tool tip with the >entire field. I presume you mean "truncated"; you're right, that's a good suggestion, which PM does not currently implement. >- In the accounts window, have a check box to use the same credentials for >SMTP auth as login. That's a reasonable suggestion (though obviously is easy to work around). Note also the capability for Locations, in case you haven't made acquaintance with them yet. These allow you to configure one common SMTP AUTH profile for outbound, regardless of the associated account. -b -- Ben Kennedy (chief magician) zygoat creative technical services http://www.zygoat.ca
