Thanks a lot for the explication. The benefits for me as you could guess, is when working with lots of folders and reading long emails, then while reading the email i want to go back to another folder to search for another email related, then come back to where i was working in the first long email .... For me it's really important, so how to post a bug? Thank you again.
