Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird's Index View

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Hi, Christopher:

By index I mean the summary view of all mail in a particular folder, for
example the folder inbox of one of my setup accounts--perhaps
janina rednote net.

One can get there via menus, Go, Folders, then the particular account,
etc. This path can be very slow, especially if the local imaps hasn't
updated recently.

I believe Outlook also calls it an index view, as I know the console mua
I use, mutt, does. So, I'm not sure what else to call that screen, but
it's definitely the most useful to me as I literally dispose of hundreds
of emails daily.

Best,

Janina
