| Q: | I know this is a minor matter (picky, picky, picky! ;-),
but I am very used to reading my email the way I have it set up in Eudora; ie, No preview pane at
all, but when I double click on an email message, the message opens up to fill the viewing pane (not
the entire window as Poco does). If I delete or file the message I'm viewing, the text of the next
unread message pops up in the viewing pane. If there are no more unread messages, it goes back to
showing a list of all the email messages in that folder.
Is there any way to get that type of behavior from Poco? |

| A: | At the moment this exact functionality wouldn't work that way in Poco; you could
get close to it by using Fast Reading.
You can toggle fast reading on by clicking on the "F" icon in the preview pane bar. What happens with fast reading is that when you click on a message in the index, the preview pane will expand "full screen" -- that is, it expand up over the index pane (not your address or mailbox panes, depending on what pane layout you've chosen). Then when you move the cursor back up towards the index area, the pane will move back down to expose the message index again. Once the "Fast read" option is toggled on you can read through the messages by pressing the space bar. This will page the message down and, when at the end of a message, open the next message. You can move backwards through a message by pressing the up arrow (up one line) or page up (scroll up one screen). "Alt->" (Alt + right arrow) advances to the next message using the same expanded screen while "Alt <-" (Alt + left arrow) goes to the previous message. You can also move backwards through a fast read screen by pressing the shift key and space bar (scrolls backwards through the message and, when at the top of a message moves to the prior message). Note: If you have threaded the mailbox display then the message to message navigation techniques described above will jump from thread to thread and not into the messages within the thread. I'm not aware of a keyboard shortcut that will open the thread without maximizing the index. |
