Hmm, thanks..

Got a funny feeling as i read that cause it's almost exactly what i do now, except on unix the middle mouse button is open in new window which saves a bit of finger stress from all the right clicks

There's gotta be a quicker way though, "1) open mail client, 2) goto empeg folder, 3)press next, 4) read, 5) repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no new messages left" just seems an order of magnitude quicker.

Actually, just changed it to collapsed threads. That makes helps allot cause now it automatically jumps to the first new message
