Panther Mail.app improvements.
What are some features you would like to see in the new version of mail for Panther? I know I would like to be able to have the dock icon display when I have new mail in other folders besides the Inbox one. I have a folder set up for my girlfriend, and when she emails me, (using rules, which I finally discovered last week) it goes right there, but there is no way I can find to have it display in the dock. Another thing I would like is the ability to check a hotmail or webmail account. I guess those are the basic things. (And I wanted to see if anyone is looking for this feature.... Or any others.)

And the ability to be opened from 'mailto' links in Safari. This has never worked for me.
Really? It works fine for me.

Check this out.
The comments section offers some alternate solutions as well.
They're all a bit complex, so it may be good idea to help.
i'd also like the junk filter to have merged training and active mode.
ultimately i'd like the underlying persistant storage mechanism to be a proper db such as mysql this would be SOooo much faster than the flat text files that they currently use. of course the ability to export to flat txt (or mbox whatever.) would be needed as well.
mind you i'm not knocking mail 'cause it's not bad. not bad at all.
