it only collapses threads the user wanted to collapse.  Does this mean
it should uncollapse some automatically? that behaviour seems erratic at
best.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, this is what it does now? 
Isn't this opposing the one above?

Groan, what about just killing all tooltips, thats a feature request too
from a lot of people.

Not sure if this is actually pratical (if you have a lot of destination
folders, you need to look through all of them).

Whats that?  "like outlook" doesn't mean anything to me.

not sure how this could work, you dont have much space to show much at
all, e.g if you have a lot of folders, etc.
