Quoting "John H. Bennett III" <benne...@thebennetthome.com>:

Hello,

After spending some time using the latest stable version of imp, I have two usability questions to better improve my user experience.

1. Is there an easy way to change the layout of the imp main screen?

Via the CSS files.

I'm talking about the From, Subject, Date, and size layout. Often times, from my experience, and feedback to me, the from field isn't long enough to display who the mail was sent from. You see the partial from info, then the ... appended to the end? I hate to ask, but is it possible to implement some sort of dynamic column adjustment?

Sure, if you are willing to fund the work.  http://horde.org/consulting

2. The select all checkbox now seems to me to be an unusable feature/function. If I choose select all, I only want to delete all the messages on that page, not every single message in the mailbox.

There is no concept of "pages" anymore. Which is pretty much the standard UI paradigm these days. I certainly hope that clicking the select all button does not select only the few rows I can see. I can't think of another UI that does this.

The old "standard" IMP page uses pages. But that was not because of UI reasons - instead it is due to resource-limitation issues.

All decent email clients show the entire mailbox in a single list (I'm looking at you Gmail). Paging results is so 2001.
