Switching mailboxes

[Peter Bloomfield <peterbloomfield bellsouth net>]

Hi All!

A recent bug[1] relates to Balsa's practice of automatically switching  
to another mailbox when you ask for the next unread message and the  
current mailbox has no more unread messages.  When that feature was  
added, code was included for popping up a dialog asking for  
confirmation that you really want Balsa to make the switch, but it  
seemed intrusive and has always been commented out.

The reporter asks for a preferences option to enable the confirmation  
dialog.  It could be added to the "Main window" group on the "Display  
options" page, perhaps:

[ ] Ask me before switching to another mailbox to show an unread  
message.

But Balsa already offers a plethora of options, presumably intimidating  
to a new user.  Is the current practice annoying, and sufficiently so  
to make installing the option worthwhile?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Peter
