The chinook email asks the question, so I was fine with that. Modest you can set it in the preferences but that's it. It just doesn't fit the way I use my tablet. > > > 2.

I agree in a desktop sized app this is what I want too, but in an on the go device like the tablet I just want all my mail in one spot. Sounds like modest would be an improvement for you.
