I guess I would prefer it if this was toggleable. Certainly if
someone likes this functionality they should be able to leave it on,
but for those that don't I'm not sure why it is forced on us. I enjoy
features (The Bat seems to have many), but they only become options if
I can turn them off. :-)
I dont leave my mail client up at all times. I usually open it, press
ALT-F2, and that is when those popups become mighty irritating.
Hopefully someone from ritlabs might consider this a toggle option for
future versions (if they read this group).

Thanks for the templates. This seems like a lot of work if you have
many accounts, but I assume it is the only solution.
