Thunderbird 0.6

This morning, I switched to Thunderbird 0.6. And I switched back to the Mozilla Application Suite... For two reasons:
- I find the folder icons of the default theme totally unreadable compared to those of the Modern theme. When a folder gets a new incoming email, a small red star appears but that small red star is almost invisible because of the colors of the folder icon itself. More generally, I don't like Tbird's default theme.
- The "Get messages" button gets incoming messages for the current account only. It does not retrieve the messages for all the accounts. I have to type ctrl-shift-T and I hate it. I have five active accounts here... Getting all messages of all accounts should be the default when you click on the button, imho.

There is an extension for that get all messages button:
downloads.mozdev.org/thun...
And it's possible to switch to the Modern theme..
I also switched to Thunderbird a week ago, i quite like it.
I like thunderbird and its default theme.
But with this message button i agree. A lot of people have more than one email account.
And second I also don't like: You can't search in all messages.
Thats a very useless searchfunction.
Migration dotclear ou c'est naturellement cassé ?
2nd point: my "Get messages" button in Mozilla application suite only retrieve messages for the current mail account, I've got to use the drop-down list on the button and select all accounts. May be it's configurable in Mozilla and Thunderbird as well?
/me finally switched to TB. The TB's modern theme is not perfect though (preference panel's icons missing, attachments badly placed and a few other nits)
Perhaps you like the "Charamel" theme which is in my opinion the best available Theme for Windows-Mozilla-Products.

P.S.: "Le Breeze" is also nice.
