You're quite right, of course. I always have the folder pane
uncompacted, ever since they listened to reason and started
right-justifying newsgroup names (although they should have made
these user-definable).

I have the Reading pane at the bottom; if the folder I happen to be
viewing scrolls off the screen and the window is not maximized,
there's no indication anywhere of which folder that might be.

I can't believe you've given up on Find a message. I use it all the
time and find it extremely useful. There is some characteristic of
the Store folder in its default location that renders it invisible
to some WDS installations; I've asked the WDS people what this might
be, but they don't know. Move your Store folder to a known indexable
location (like the Documents folder) and I bet it'll start working
for you, too.
