I agree, I'll gladly wait for version 2. It's not URGENT, for sure. >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. I am not a power user, but, yes, what you say makes sense. However, even the power user, who has probably automated just about everything, will once in a while receive messages that don't "fit" any rule. Dealing with these messages is easier, FOR ME, using the toolbar. Others will undoubtedly prefer the keyboard, the context menu, drag and drop, whatever. Great!, live and let live! My only point is that the toolbar features in TB are not at par with its other features and would be nice to have them improved. >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? If you can understand why the keyboard is so important to you then I am sure you can understand why the toolbar is for others (me included). Different persons with different tastes, preferences, habits, skills. We are different, thank God, and Vive la diff�rence! as the French say (hope it's not misspelled...) >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? Why SHOULD anybody do anything? And who is to decide what's the most effective use of anybody's time if not him/herself? >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? As said before, ask yourself why the keyboard is important to you, replace the word keyboard for toolbar and you've got your answer. In my case, I guess it's a habit. I am used to it and feel comfortable working as I do. Since I am the "chooser", I choose programs that fit my way of doing things, and if I find a program that I like and don't quite comply with how I work I'll try to suggest whatever improvements I deem appropriate. No big deal, no urgency, no nothing. Either that or keep looking for what I like. Isn't that what most of us do? >P.S.: Sandro: Your signature delimiter is defect .... :-) Would you believe I don't know what a "signature delimiter" is? Anyway, it's probably because I am still using Outlook.
