Round 2:
* Sometimes messages won't get flagged as read. I'm not using the reading pane. I double click a message and it pops up. When I close the message, it's no longer bold in the list, but sometimes the # of unread messages doesn't go down. When this happens to a specific account, right-clicking and marking all as read will not clear the unread message count, nor will "Get Mail" affect it. Only closing Zdesktop and reopening restores the proper behavior.
* According to the known issues the Zimlets section only shows up on the first account in the list. However, the Zimlets shown do not correspond to the Zimlets on the server. How do I get rid of them?
* When Zdesktop opens a new window (for reading a message or composing a new one) it's the same size as the main window was when Zdesktop was launched. If you resize and/or reposition the pop-up, Zdesktop will use the new dimensions/position when opening new windows until you close Zdesktop at which point it discards this information and reverts back to the "full size" pop-up window when Zdesktop is restarted.
* Why does the pop-up window of a message not have all the appropriate button functions of the main window? Reply, Reply to All, Forward, Delete, and Junk should be available for popped up messages.
* Is there some reason the system doesn't immediately send an e-mail when it's online instead of waiting for the next sync? I could see being at a hotspot and easily forgetting to "Get Mail" to force the send before leaving.
* I couldn't find any incoming mail notification options. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this would be a fundamental feature one would look for in a client side app.
* I don't see a good way in the interface to tell if you have unread e-mail other than checking each account individually. Maybe this is a wish-list item but I would find it helpful if each account's section bar in the Outlook style navigation area had the number of unread messages in it.
* Are there any plans to have Zdesktop be able to field "mailto:" links?
As always please don't take these comments/questions as an attack on the product. I simply pose this information in an effort to help Zdesktop become useful to as broad a base of users as possible. I look forward to seeing the GA product!  |
