To/CC/BCC address fields can benefit from some better UX design.

To/CC/BCC address fields can benefit from some better UX design:

1. Deleting an address letter-by-letter works fine... Until you delete the last letter (first letter of the address). Hit delete again and the cursor shifts up to the From address. So, blindly hitting delete multiple times shifts the cursor up and, if one is not watching, they begin to delete the From address as well.

2. When deleting addresses from an email where there are multiple addresses, the other addresses in the list do not shift "up." I.e., many blank To/CC/BCC fields are left in the email list. This doesn't break email sending by any means, but it does make it hard to scroll through the list of emails and see what addresses actually exist. It would be nice if deleting an address shifted all remaining addresses up so that there are no "blank" spots left.

3. Copying/pasting multiple email addresses into a To/CC/BCC field works fine with a comma-delineated list, but not a semicolon-delineated list. Since a lot of email "clients" reply/forward lists like this with semicolon-delineation, this feature would be helpful.

4. When viewing an email that was sent to multiple recipients, there is no way to copy addresses from the email body by selecting them (click/drag) -- unless you view the source. It would be nice to be able to select email addresses like this, rather than replying to all and deleting the unwanted email addresses.

Thanks!

Yeah, not sure other than making the modal remain open when switching apps.

But, I rather like the UI functionality when editing a Todo (much like editing an email, although inline).

More detail (a bit redundant):

If an entry modal is opened (say, to add a Todo), the modal disappears (is closed) if the user changes focus to another applications. This happens with all entry modals, but is most annoying when adding a Todo. A case-in-point is when trying to add details to a Todo and the user must go to their web browser to search, upon coming back to Postbox -- even if content has been added to the modal -- the modal is gone.

Actually, on Mac it's Program Menu (e.g., where it says "Postbox" in the menu) / Preferences.

Arg. I did search but didn't come up with any of those. Thanks!

Hide Inspector?

Postbox feature request: I would love if there was a way to hide the "Inspector" panel -- it takes up valuable message space on smaller screens.

Sightly related: It would be nice to have an IMAP disk usage/quota option (viewable in the status area).

@R.A. Ray: Sorry, didn't see your question... I would like to do what @Ced is describing -- have Purr trigger when the page loads rather than requiring visitors to click a link.

Thanks!

Automatic Purr w/out onLoad?

Can I make Purr appear automatically on a page without using an onLoad function?
