Hi,

I think what roundcube needs badly is a way to quickly and temporarily hide the preview pane. I often find spam messages in my Inbox that SA has not caught (different story). When I click to drag them into the Spam folder, they are loaded in the preview pane, which bothers me.

Yeah I agree. And not just specifically for spam. Any drag opens the preview for that message, which slows the whole thing down. If we could disable it during the drag somehow (I've no idea how, especially due to the click first thing, - hmm maybe an event handler that detects the mouse still down) that may be a better long term solution.

How about a delay? The item has to have been selected for 5 seconds without the mouse being clicked on another message. So really, it changes from an onClick event handler to an onRelease or onMouseUp event handler. You would wait a set amount of time (say 2-5 seconds) and then once that time has passed, load it in the preview pane. This way, if you mis-click, you have that small window to correct it before a preview is shone. This is very similar to the "Wait X seconds before marking read" in Thunderbird.

There should be a button to quickly hide the preview pane so I can drag mail without it being loaded. I'm gonna make a ticket for this, too.

A show/hide button would still be useful anyhow so as to get around reducing the size of the preview window for some folder work.

Perhaps something along the lines of a minor button sitting on the dividor that looks something like: [===v===] to minimize the preview pane, and [===^===] to maximize it.

That would be very similar to the panes that Macromedia/Adobe uses in their dreamweaver/firefox/flash applications to hide/show panels. http://www.softpedia.com/screenshots/Macromedia-Flash_2.png

That has some good shots of the panels, and you can see the light areas which are the buttons to minimize or maximize it. I'm not entirely sold on the button being there since it should/can? be configured in the preferences of Roundcube. But that's just my personal feeling.
