In the 2001011407 nightly update, I set up a Vfolder which filters on
status isnot read.  This collects together the unread messages from
various folders as it should.  However, after these messages are read,
they remain in the Vfolder.  Only when Evo is restarted are the contents
of this Vfolder correctly updated.  It seems like the contents of the
folder should be updated when the status of a message changes.

Not quite as simple as that because you won't have time to read the
actual message as it blinks out of the folder :-).  

Yeah, I thought of that as well.  I didn't think of a real clean
solution to that.  Perhaps there needs to be a menu item to refresh the
vFolder contents or perhaps the VFolder contents should be automatically
refreshed every time you visit the folder.  Or at least the message you
are currently reading shouldn't go away due to filters!  Outlook has a
view for unread messages and I think they disappear as soon as you move
to the next message.  I'll have to check next time I run Outlook.


Well, when reading mail, the message being read remains in the reading
window even after expunging it; wouldn't the same thing happen for
vfolders? You open the message, it gets displayed, the message
disappears from the folder, while the body stays until you open a
different message in the folder.

Right.  That would work fine.  BTW, if you set the view in Outlook to
show only unread messages, then it switches to a list view.  When you
open a message to read it (in a new window) then the message header
disappears from the unread list.  But of course, you can still read it
in the  new window, similar to what you suggest above for a three-pane
view.
