Re: [Evolution] Mail reader window useless



WHOLE inbox?  How can you fit 10K messages on your screen at once?

Anyway, I work here at Ximian, and I agree with you, but there's nothing
i can do about it either.  Go figure.

Is it me or does it seem that Ximian has something against using the
separate pane window?

I have checked around with Outlook, Netscape, and Pegausus (just for
laughs)  users and many of them, more than I thought, use external
panes.  They just do not like not being able to see their whole INBOX
while reading a mail.  Interestingly enough a few thought the mailbox
listing should be external to the main window, not the mail note.  This
makes some sense, the mailbox listing then functions like a navigation
index to the "main" program....

    I'm no gnome developer (my specialty is KSH/SH, Makefiles, change
    control and system administration), but could you point me to what files
    (in other branches of Evolution) that I would find that "old" way of
    viewing mails?  I would like to see if maybe I can understand the code
    enough to make my own merge of that code for my personal use.
Once you see the old code you'll fully understand why it was removed
:-)

One word: Eek!

anyways, you can do:

cvs update -r 1.23 message-browser.c
and
cvs update -r 1.3 message-browser.h

these files live in evolution/mail/

Thanks.  Are there any plans to put back the removed functionality (in a
nicer neater fashion) sometime in the future, or is this the final
look?  I don't want to duplicate someone else's (more qualified) work.
