I suppose so. Personally, I don't use a separate archive folder, I find 
read/unread (plus custom sorting rules for incoming mail) to work fine, so 
for me it's a non-issue.

Heh :)

In all truthfullness though, out of all OSes, there is one and *only* one 
that I actually like, and that's PalmOS (and particularly the ones before 
they screwed up Grafitti). But that's abandoned now in favor of that WebOS 
Google/Apple-wannabe crap, plus it never would have worked well as a desktop 
OS anyway.

I don't actually like Windows or MS all that much, but I absolutely hate OSX 
(and post-Woz Apple as a whole), and as far as Linux/Unix, well, there's a 
lot that I do and don't like about those (for instance, I can't find a file 
manager that doesn't piss me off), so I figure "Better the devil I know", 
hence Windows. And as far as windows goes, the only changes I particularly 
like about Win7 are that renaming doesn't select the extention and the 
ability to *always* use folder-tree view in the file explorer. But those are 
small and there's a bunch of other things I don't like that I can't change, 
so it's XP for me.
