When you open a window in MUI, it takes the focus away from the current window you're on. Therefore, if you're typing a message on IRC or MSN, and if SimpleMail is active and checks for mail every 5 minutes while uniconified.. whoopsy.. you need to re-click into your chat programs to continue typing..
Can SimpleMail open its "checking for new mail" window without activating it and taking the focus from another window somewhere else?
If a window cant open without stealing focus from other apps (to put it rather dramatically!) could we redesign the gui and hide/show the checking for mail stuff from the main window somehow? the dialog could be integrated into the main window, and be at the top, and be used with MUIA_ShowMe?
Because of this slight issue, I havent run Simplemail in its own screen for years, and I try to leave it iconified as much as possibe..
