Now that's where the ticker really comes into its own. All new
messages - *one virtual folder* - wherever that new message may have
ended up being filtered to. I keep TB in the tooltray most of the
time. All new message reading is done from the ticker virtual folder.

That's another way, but when the ticker VF is as good as it is, why
bother? Even if you don't want to *see* the ticker, move it off screen
and assign as system-wide hot key to it to open the VF when you know
there is new mail to read.

Indeed.

Level 4.5 Email-aholic :-).
