I find the behavior undesirable for two reasons: unless I have literally just switched from and returned to a mailbox, I'm not likely to remember why certain messages are selected and it starts to feel like random client behavior rather than something intentional or intuitive, and I do the same thing Jan complained about in leaving undealt-with messages marked unread on purpose, which this behavior messes with. > > Settings to toggle this might be good, either globally or per-mailbox. For some users, I could see this behavior being useful for, say, the inbox but not elsewhere.
Actually, when not doing server admin, I find sub-folders incredibly useful. Consider a contract negotiation from last year - a question arises, you search and find the relevant message and respond. A few days later after a long weekend, you receive a follow-up query. This time you don't need to search, it's highlighted. Of course this "feature" is more useful to some users than others.
