wishlist items

Let me know if there is any better way to submit these so they don't  
get forgotten, even if they stay low priority.

1) I would love a command/button to go to the next mailbox with an  
unread message.  I often have one or two mailboxes with lots of unread,  
but I sometimes want to defer dealing with them until later, and just  
move on.  Now I have to scroll through the mailbox list (which I  
fortunately usually keep fully expanded) and look for another bold  
item. (There is an alternative which is to select the first mailbox in  
the list and go to next unread.  Then go the the mailbox after the one  
with lots of messages and go to next unread.  A single command/menu  
item/button would be easier.

2) Compose a new message to the sender of the message I'm currently  
reading.  This is usually relevant for a mailing list, where I read a  
message, and think of a new topic, so I don't want to simply reply,  
since my new message should not be threaded under the current one.

3) Provide a single button to clear the search box (default: Subject or  
Sender Contains:)  Many applications I use have text search boxes,  
which when you start typing, get a black square with a bulge on the  
left with a white X show up a the right end of the box.  Click it, and  
it clears anything you have typed.  Hitting a single button to clear  
the field is easier than selecting the entire contents and then hitting  
"Del".

Thanks.
