I did consider adding this, but it puts quite a heavy load on the IMAP
server,
so decided just to encourage users to use the Folders view for this kind of
thing.

Hmm, Netscape doesn't render it properly.  Needs a new style (right now its
using <b> tags and the NS CSS overrides that).

I think it was for consistency.  I was rather partial to it actually (I
think the icon
that's there now is rather hard to click).  But I haven't found a better
one!

Absolutely ... I agree. I'll look into this as soon as I have time, if noone
else gets
to it first.

It's not really the best solution when you are using a laptop (as I am),
or anything less than 1280x1024.  Try using a framed view at 800x600
for a while to get a feel for the punishment that frames impose! :-)
