Using "search", when I just want to "hide already read mails"? You call that intuitive?
Sure. Search/filter... ...whatever.
Oh yes. Why the hell should I have them always in my way, especially when sorting on an other criterium?Alan BakerSince it is in virtually every application that can display multiple items, be they emails, files, pages, one quickly learns that the advanced searching in Mac OS X is something you should at least try.Sorting is not the focus, we are on hiding already read messages.Laszlo Lebrun
The sort on status does not sort unread, as of Version 4.2.
And it matters whether you actually HIDE the read messages rather than have them sort in the list AFTER the unread ones?
Jeopardizing functionality (you are not really asking as an OSX expert, are you?) Introducing nags to make some more money. Killing a start button Unity on Ubuntu Stopping support for hardware etc... but you know that do you, you just have been asking to troll isn't it?Alan BakerAgain: software is improved with successive versions. This is unsurprising.Laszlo Lebrun
Experience tell sometimes the opposite, especially with Apple software. but also Microsoft and Canonical.
Really? Give some examples.
To that fact, sure. To our discussion not.Laszlo LebrunAlan Baker
Sandman and the OP called them exclusively smart folders, so logically one would in the help search for "smart folders", which returns nothing since Apple call them "smart mailboxes".
What Sandman or the OP called them is irrelevant to the fact that the actual SOFTWARE only calls them "smart mailboxes".
I disagree.Laszlo LebrunAlan Baker
Which -with permission- isn't really an appropriate designation for an own alternate representation of existing data from an external mailbox. I suppose some lawyer interacted here and Apple were not ready to pay license fees?
What are you talking about? It's a perfect suitable name...
