OP wanted just messages and the present message (I think). Three pane, then hide mailboxes gives you that. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

You can spawn as many “Viewer” windows as you need (CMD-OPT-n), and then adjust the mailbox folder hierarchy display to suit your tastes. Your window layout persists across restarts of MailMate. I think to get what you want, you would choose the three pane view, select the mailbox for this window, and then chose to hide the mailbox side panel. You might also use View -> Layout -> Two Panes, which will show just the mailbox hierarchy and the list of messages for one mailbox in a Viewer. This layout spawns a separate window for each message you open, which I prefer. Glenn P.

I have abruptly reached the end of road for using Mailsmith as my email client, since my mail provider will no longer let Mailsmith connect to receive messages. From my research, it looks like MailMate will be the closest replacement, at least in general philosophy of email handling. I've read a bunch of list posts about switching to MailMate and am somewhat prepared for the mental retraining I'll be facing. However, there is one way of working that I'm not prepared to give up: using separate mailbox windows. I really, really dislike the one-window three-pane email standard - it drives me bonkers. I'm someone who likes to see everything at once. My office looks like chaos, but I know in which pile and how far down everything is because I can see it! :-) In Mailsmith, I have one window with my mailbox list, then a half dozen or so windows with my most commonly used mailboxes. I can tell at a glance what's happening where in various parts of my life. If I need to access any other mailbox, I double-click it in the list & open a new window. Further, in some of those mailbox windows, I show just the message list, and open the messages in separate windows. In others, I show two panes: message list and message content - similar to the three-pane system. In reading the manual and posts here, it appears that MM doesn't have that same level of windowing flexibility, correct? Is there some way of simulating that behavior, even if it's not standard? Bottom line, I like having control over which mailboxes and which messages open in their own windows. I could live without the two-pane behavior and just have mailboxes with a message list in their own windows, but I must have at least that ability - I find the three pane system extremely inefficient. Thanks for your help... (Oh, and for any old Mailsmith users, if you remember any advice on the switchover, I'd love to hear it!) ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
