Nice tip, but I’ve noticed that when I have multiple windows open, they will “wander” between quits and restarts of Mail.app. This happening to anyone else?

What's next? How about a great tip about printing your mail on paper so you can refer to it while away from the computer? Oh, and if you don't want to be bothered by reading mail, use the little-known "Quit" command. (Power users will want to write Command-Q down, in their Hipster PDA, as a reminder for the shortcut.)

I've done this from the start.. the first graphical email app I used was Eudora, and each 'folder' (in, out, archived, etc.) was in a separate window. I've always had at least my Inbox and Sent windows up simultaneously, since I use them both the most - with the In window vertically larger.. since I read and sort more email than I write. If Apple Mail removed this ability, I'd likely switch again to an email client that did. Well DUHH!

I have five mail windows open at a time. Every time I click on a mailbox it takes at least several seconds to load it (I have a G4 iBook and some big mailboxes) but having a viewer window of that mailbox open keeps it in memory and thus switching to it takes no time. Particularly handy if there is a folder you search in often (like "sent items"). Why stop at two? I have five mail windows open at a time.
