With that I mean I set up my account, downloaded a lot mails and set the filters _afterwards_, but did not find an easy way to filter the already downloaded mails --> in the end I marked all mails * what is the difference between a normal-filter and a pop-filter? I think I know it though I think this extra menu-entry does no good * wth are "Sieve"-scripts? there is no information provided there what that could mean, no help-button or whatever * the text-area of the "mail-preview"-window is relatively small because of the large size of the header and the topic, an option to collapse it (Thunderbird, *hint*, *hint* ;) ) would be great * changing the icon of my favorite folder: there are only a few chars under the pictures like "in..." or "a..." * I think another very useful function of thunderbird should be introduced: an option to show messages grouped in the (hmm what is it called)-bar --> where you can sort the messages after title, date etc. I tested that on the latest factory packages of opensuse, as I'm currently only running base and libs from trunk (in fact with another user). If you think the points I raised here are no issues or that I should have searched more, well then simply see this message as my user experience. Btw. there are some features I *really* like, like when you search for a mail that you also see the parent mails of the discussion, that is really great and a lot better than the confusion thunderbird provides one with in that case! Also the favorites are a good idea, especially if you have many mailboxes + folders.
