Subject: Multiple Folders enhancement requests

Could you implement the following enhancements for the multiple mail folders:

 Notification when mail shows up in other folders
 
 Have TAB step through each new message instead of jumping immediately to 
 the next one

 Have TAB mark the messages it steps through as deleted, and have the user
 hit u for the messages they want to keep.  (This would help immensely for
 100 mesg/day mailing lists)

 Have TAB skip inboxes with no messages in them.

 Have Julia Roberts take some whipped cream and..  Whoops, wrong list.. =)

Or ... subscribe to mailing lists in a DIGEST FORMAT ... unlike this one!

She wouldn't have time to do anything with foodstuffs if she subscribed
to a mailing list that had lots and lots of messages per day and had no
DIGEST FORMAT subscription.

We are trying to come up with a way to do this for the incoming-folders 
collection without being an inordinate resource hog.  There is a glimmer 
of hope on the horizon, but it is not quite here yet.

I must be missing something here.  Could you restate this point?

>  100 mesg/day mailing lists)

I'll add this to the requested enhancement list.

This ties in with your first request.  Both of these will be easy when 
the driver-level issues get ironed out.

Hmmm...  :)

Perhaps you could let the user specify which folders to monitor?  Since 
you've jumped to 3 minutes, this shouldn't suck too much time...

> I must be missing something here.  Could you restate this point?
Have TAB function like the space bar, paging through the message, and 
jumping to the next unread one when it hits the end of the one its on.

Is that a Hmmm... maybe I'll let you have her when I'm done.. ?=)
