Ok. Maybe you Mail.app guys...
Ok. Maybe you Mail.app guys can help me… Merlin seems to use Mail.app on his mac.. so I am thinking I am missing a key setting or configuration area… I have recent converted back to the Mac platform (I had a Mac 128k, back in THE DAY), and I tried to use Mail.app…. BUT… I can’t tolerate (maybe it is just me) the behaviour when deleting an item from the inbox.
It doesn’t seem to take you to the next unread item, but instead changes focus to the previously read message.
what am I missing? With this crazy and un-useful behavior, all the smart-mailbox-fu in the world won’t help me, becuase I won’t be able to use Mail.app. It just makes processing the stuff in IN too time consuming.. I want to be able to hit DEL and then have the focus in IN move to the next unread message and not back to the previous messagee…
Merlin.. maybe you could record a 30 second screen-cast of you processing IN in Mail.app so I can see WTF I am missing here.
