I have been using the Dynamic interface for a while, it has some great features - but I have a couple of questions.

1. I can't find a way to View Thread like in the Traditional interface - am I missing something obvious?

It's right there next to Subject (if you mean sorting by thread). If you mean viewing an entire thread on the same page, then no. I've always found that feature very cumbersome and not that useful, and have toyed in the past with removing it completely. At a minimum, I would like to redo it for the dynamic view.


I find it very useful for Mailing List discussions - it's great to be able to view in one piece, and then hit the "Delete Thread" icon once finished with it. Particularly when you get 20 or 30 emails in some discussions, to read / delete manually takes ages. Personally I'd be disappointed to see it go, and would like to see it in Dynamic.

2. In Traditional you can "Clear Sort" to return to Pref-specified default sorting, is that available in Dynamic?

Right-click on the sort bar. Suggestions for where else to put it are welcome (but NOT in Other Actions. It doesn't fit in there).


OK, found it - it's not very intuitive to find. Hmmm... Consistency with Traditional would see it in that header bar, but that would necessitate sacrificing a whole row of real estate for one small item. What about on the Command Buttons row next to Other Actions but dynamically - only show if a sort is applied, like Traditional?

3. You can't mark a message as "Answered"?

You are not supposed to be allowed to mark a message as Answered manually. This flag is defined by the IMAP spec for a very specific purpose - it must only be sent when a message has been successfully replied to. You can always define a tag if you want something that you can manually control.

Only reason I mention this one is because you can do it in Traditional.

Thanks for the responses Michael.
