Hello, I hope I'm at the right place for making a couple of feature suggestions, after having tried the software for a few times (CVS-20031231-Devel). What came to my mind that it should remember the folder list state (expanded/collapsed items) across sessions. Since it remembers it during a session anyway, I guess making the former possible would just involve moving that state to the user folder instead of the session folder. The folder list should also either show the number of unread mails in nested folders also, or at least have the name in bold for folders whose any sub-folder has unread mails. This would be especially useful when the given (outer-)folder is collapsed, so the inner one with the unread mail count cannot be seen. Also, the message list should perhaps remember for each folder at what message position I had last looked at the given folder, so that I don't have to navigate to the list's end (or middle, for that matter) each time I open a folder. (I like to see the message list in ascending date order, so the most relevant ones are mostly near the lists' end, so always opening the folder at the first message is quite inconvenient. I guess there are a few other people with the same preference.) byez mortee PS.: If any of the above is implemented since the version I tried, or is doable in the configs, then please forgive my ignorance - I just started to explore IlohaMail. Anyway, in the latter case, I'd appreciate if anyoe would drop a note regarding how to achieve the mentioned behaviour. |

If you use the MySQL backend, folder states will be maintained across sessions. I will implement this in the FS backend as well, but it's not there yet. >The folder list should also either show the number of unread mails in >nested folders also, or at least have the name in bold for folders whose >any sub-folder has unread mails.

I'll see what I can do. >Also, the message list should perhaps remember for each folder at what >message position I had last looked at the given folder, so that I don't >have to navigate to the list's end (or middle, for that matter) each >time I open a folder.

You can do this by setting the "Sort order" to "ascending" in Options (under "List View Options"). Ryo |
