Yes. I think the ticker is quite a clever idea and very useful in some
situations. Like any tool, it is good for some things and not so good for
others. My note was not at all a complaint about the tool. However it is the
only place that 'new' messages are noted and there is a very different way
of showing that information which suits other usage scenarios.
In particular, I've noted that some users (like me) have:
- lots of folders that new messages are put into,
- lots of message traffic for many of the folders, and
- a need to move around those folders in an almost-random pattern
That is, a user wanting to scan and re-scan the set of active folders and
dive into one or another according to whims of the moment. And then jump
back out and look for the next one to dive into. It would be enormously
helpful to know which folders have "new" messages and which do not.
