Nick added: I think I've mentioned this before, but another solution
and one that I swear by is using good ol' PowerPro. I have different
"flags" programmed in PowerPro that are called from various folders in
TB!. I use different colored flags for each folder and make the flags
small, I use 5 pixel squares. When mail drops in those folders the
flag appears in the upper left side of the screen, of course you can
put them anywhere. I program the flags so that with a right click they
reset and take me to the virtual desktop where I keep TB! opened. A
left click and they just disappear - in other words, don't bother me
now I'll check it out later. But if still more mail comes in the
appropriate flag will pop back on.

Very obscure, yet informative.
