So your argument for why we should offer the option to lose one's place in the message list is that the feature that it breaks has a work-around? I'm not exactly becoming more convinced.
mirroring the behavior in Thunderbird, it's also the behavior in Outlook. Trying to define Roundcube as a Web client or a fat client is not really fair anymore; this client *can do* much more than other Web clients. So, why not take advantage of it?
As I said, I talked with "normal" users (not geeks) and nobody liked it. My worries are that I will have a hard time making the network users happy with RC. If it were configurable, than it could be changed easily, and I would get fewer complaints.
I don't understand *why* they don't like it. The only reason you've offered is that they might accidentally click twice. Perhaps you could convince your users to think of RC more like Thunderbird and less like Gmail. It's a paradigm shift, and your users' complaints are common at first, but I believe that in the long-run people appreciate the power and flexibility that comes with maintaining ones place in lists (as well as other "application-like" features in RC).
