Morning Eberhard,

Sorting the message list is no problem: Click on the column header of the
field you want to sort by.

Have you tried threading by references? It works very well on lists where
most poeple's mailers support the reference header. And helps when you
want to read the messages threaded.

Re:'s *are* disregarded in sorting, as are Re[x]: The stupid MS-localized
versions of stupid MS-mailers aren't,. however. :)

I agree the current behaviour is a little annoying. But Ctrl+´ (German kb's)
for next unread is good enough for now. v2 will allow customizable kb
shortcuts.

It does. It just doesn't change the case you type it in.

Are you familiar with the Ctrl+Plus to complete from Address book?
Or the fact that entering a nick (handle) and then changing to the next
field expands to the full name?

Try it out :-)

It might be not that useful, but just use Tab instead for now..

Well, it does with Beta/20 for sure.

I think it's planned for v2, but for now you can filter mails from other
accounts into one if you like. All you need to do is a "check all" and set
up a few filters.

I absolutely agree with Steve here and disagree with you :) I have come to
like very much that TB sets the cursor where it was, especially with my
chaotic mail working style. EG: I might want to refer to multiple messages
in several folders and click back and forth between them. Other usages
too.

Would be nice as people could avoid posting similar requests over and
over.
