The Status Bar area has been traditionally used as a display of the program processes. I support this feature and I suggest that it be expanded. The current state of it is fairly useless since the information is gone before one can read it and act upon it. | |||
One of the most needed changes would be an expansion of the information displayed as mail servers are accessed for new mail. It would be nice to give feedback that expands upward and allows the information to be displayed for a longer period of time. The amount of time that the information is shown before it fades out would be settable in the preferences section. Being able to optionally route that information to a log file would be nice. | |||
The great advantage would be to be able to see the feedback as multiple accounts are accessed so as to have time to see how many messages each had and downloaded, as well as having more time to monitor the connection success and relative speed. Being able to customize this would make that part of the process much more useful for those of us who care about such things, and would point out more clearly the problems which might be ongoing with one account or another. | |||
