[Non-customizable tool bar] > [...] it's a big problem for those of us that are accustomed to use the > toolbar buttons for every common action (Move, Copy, Undo, etc.) That's one thing I don't understand since aeons. The average user that handles his/her few mails a day might use tool bars quite often as he/she gets no chance to 'learn' the more efficient ways of working with such a powerful toll like The Bat!. But he/she should really be able to wait for v2 as it doesn't really matter if tool bars are customizable now or then. The 'power user', that handles quite a lot of mail daily (no numbers; it's a matter of personal opinion if 100 is 'a lot' or if the 'deadline' is 500) can't be satisfied with using tool bar for every action. In my experience the heavy mail using people are only satisfied (if ever) when using the most efficient way of handling the mails. And using the mouse ain't that one, especially not when relying on tool bars. Using context menu (right mouse button) might be the 'near the goal' way of doing several actions, but it still requires me leaving the keyboard. Most action can be done using the keyboard, that's one of the big plusses why I'm using The Bat!. The rest can most the time be done using RMB, I for myself don't even have the tool bars visible. Can anybody explain to me, why tool bars are _this_ important to so many people, that they'd like to see them customizable better yesterday than tomorrow? My Girlfriend relies on tool bars quite a lot, because she handles their 10-20 mails per days with the mouse (OK, TouchPad) and likes it this way. But she never complained about them not being customizable. Everything needed is already there; everything needed occasionally is in the menus or context menu ... So it can't be the 'I only want a fast and secure MUA' users begging for customizable tool bars, as they seem to be happy with present state (in general, small additional features or functions everybody will search for in every program). Therefore it has to be the 'I use my MUA quite more than 2 times a day' user and _even_ these people should be on the search for most effective use of time, shouldn't they? And this can't be reached by using only 'tool bars', or can it? Any comment is welcome, this e-mail is no 'judgment' in any matter; It's a pure expression of MHO and the serious question to myself and everybody out there: why the hell are tool bars this important, especially the customizable ones?
