Hi!

it will be of little help:

The most annoying behaviour of the dynamic view is the way how  
selection works - one miss and you shall start selecting messages from  
the beginning

as for the other - to a great extent I am indifferent as long as I can  
turn on/off the things I do not like/need/understand.

Just recently I was forced to upgrade to the latest stable Webmail  
edition (server upgrade and inability to compile old PHP 5.6.40 for  
the Horde version supporting categories). Shortly after server upgrade  
and before installation of Horde it I tried to migrate to Thunderbird,  
but found it being too feature-laden I have no use for plus this means  
it has to be installed on all computers I work, which "does not fly  
well". (generalisation came to the mind - Webmail is the solution if  
one does not want to be tied to a single specific electronic device  
which can die, be stolen, hacked etc

So, I and some fellow users still using my server are old freakish  
minimalists who try to abstain from changes  in things we see no  
reason changing as long as possible.

(I do not like outlook web-access, gmail and the likes, too, each for  
different angles of "user experience")
