My biggest gripe with Entourage is a simple one. First, note that I use Entourage with Preview Pane disabled. I use double clicks or keyboard commands to open messages. I set up my message lists to sort by date received, with oldest on top. This seems more natural to me than newest on top. So the scrolling thumb in my message lists is usually at the last received message, at the bottom of the scroll bar. But if I quit and restart Entourage, it goes back to the top of the scroll bar. For my IMAP accounts, the scroll bar position is lost even if I just click to a different mailbox and then come back. So here's my wish: when I select a mailbox, restore the selection state (selected message) and scrollbar state when that mailbox was last viewed. This should be trivial to code - I do it in my programs. If new messages were added since I last viewed the mailbox, then the position of the thumb in the scrollbar may need to change to reflect the position of the selected message relative to the new arrivals. But I still think that the last-viewed message should be selected, and visible in the list (table view). If the Preview Pane is visible, Entourage does a slightly better job of saving message selection and scrollbar states. It still loses state in some situations. But I don't use Preview Pane. -- Julian Vrieslander <[email protected]> -- YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
