I suspect that, in your case, the mail ticker is more or less a permanent fixture on your desktop? I only display my Inbox and Inbox - Known folders. Basically, only 'personal' stuff appears there. When I'm skimming folder-to-folder for unread messages, it's usually my TB newsgroups, my RSS subscriptions [IMAP via blogstreet], and my usenet via mailgate. This is a bunch of messages that I don't really need broadcast on the ticker, as I already just assume they're there waiting for me to get to them -- so that work-around won't really work so well for me. Subsequently, I end up having to ctrl+alt+g then select the next folder manually. Which, of course, is not big deal in and of itself . . . BUT it seems that there /could/ be a better way, quite easily. And as a long-time TB user, I'm spoiled rotten -- I expect there to be a quicker way to do pretty much every thing . . . -- | Peace, Be well | Allen | http://jarday.com | http://theprawn.com | | Running The_Bat! version 2.00.18 | with Anti-Spam Plugin BayesIt! 0.4fm | Windows XP Service Pack 1 build 2600 -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
