Hi Jonas,

Not necessarily.
You could even automate the whole process. Mark messages read and put
them in an "unread list mail" folder / colour them pink / flag them.
Move them / unflag them / use a manual filter allocated to a hot-key
when you actually read the messages. (I wouldn't do it like this
myself).
Alternatively turn off animation completely and turn on the ticker,
enable the age limit, exclude list folders from inclusion, turn off
auto-zoom, shrink it (by dragging the edge of ticker) then move it so
that it's only just visible off the edge/top/bottom/corner of the
screen. There you go. An indicator that only lights up when there's
new mail :-) in non-list folders.
These are just illustrations that there are ways of achieving the
effect that won't deprive users of functionality that is clearly
wanted the way it is by some and "the way Becky does it" by others. I
want it the way it is. Yes, it's a matter of taste, but WADR it's a
lot of work and quite a fundamental change to the software (IMHO - as
a software engineer) for a dab of "icing on the cake".
I certainly wouldn't want the programmers not to be working on v2 to
be implementing such a change in v1. Of course, if the suggestion has
merit in the eyes of RITlabs, then perhaps they can bear it in mind
for v2.
