I know that I can take a mailbox online and offline by right-clicking on the source icon for it. There are two problems with that.

First, when I right-click on the icon (which I do by a two-finger tap on my trackpad, if that makes a difference), it tries to assemble a display of all messages from that source, in all folders. That's a great thing to do on a single-tap, but to me a double-tap shouldn't shift focus, it should just call up the attribute menu. Second, I have ~8 mailboxes; if I want to go offline completely (and I sometimes do, such as right now when I'm in a low-bandwidth environment), I don't want to have to scroll down to all eight and go through the time-consuming double-tap/select process.

Apart from fixing the focus change (and I don't know if that's technically feasible), would it be possible to have Offline and Online entries in the File menu, with both an "All" option and entries for individual mailboxes?
