Next version

assuming there is one, what chance do you think there is that there will be
means via which one can have Mail Quick Views available when looking at
news, and vice versa of course.

With some reluctance I could accept having discrete instances - although I'd
prefer one.

I ask because I am fed up flicking between the News and Mail in WLMail, it's
too slow,

I can't easily use another mail client because I have Live Hotmail accounts,
thus I'm more or less forced to consider using another News Client.

I've actually gotten to like WLMail as a newsreader, IMO its a better news
reader than it is a mail client. So if I have to divide in order to
conquer I would actually prefer another mail client rather than another news
reader, but these legacy Hotmail accounts make that hard.

Am I alone in facing with this dilemma.

Re: Next version

While I agree that seeing new mail in a Quick View display while in the newsclient would be a nice addition, I also think that it
would be premature to project what features 'might' be added to the next version.

Re: Next version

Not quite sure what the problem is here ... I have the 'Unread
e-mail' Quick view at the top of the panel in Newsgroups view. When
new mail arrives, I get a sound notification; if the Unread e-mail
count has increased, I know it wasn't junk and can view it there and
then. Click back on the newsgroup I was in and I'm returned to where
I left off.

I just wrote

"Well you must have a different version because I don't see anything
referring to mail when I'm in News except the Mail icon at the bottom of the
left panel, vice versa when I'm in Mail, and I cant see anything in Options
that would effect this"

Then on a whim I right clicked Quick Views and there's a raft of options in
Select Quick Views - I've already got what I want, why wasn't I told - Go
away Thunderbird.

Re: Next version

Not got Vista, got XP. But if I had Vista then I would ask you - given what
I now know, then why would I do that?

I now have what I've been looking for all the time, it was under my nose -
just took a while to sniff it out

What we need is a utility that we can turn on when we first use an app, as
we move the cursor over controls or they get focus then things that you get
if you right click or ctl cick come up in one of those semi transparent
windows thingys. Then we would learn quicker and not ask stupid questions
all the time.

Re: Next version

Damn, And I thought stupid questiones were the reason for living - silly me
;-)
I would like to be able to run two (2) WLM apps at once.
One (1) for mail, one (1) for news.
