User Interface Settings: vB4 RC1 gives 'Sent Items' it's own direct accesible link!
 

Brilliant.

I really really like the RC1 release. Look how the Settings UI looks now:

Attachment 39309


I have waited more then 6 (!!!) years for someone to see the light and move the 'Sent Items' link out of the really userunfriendly dropdown menu in the vB3 series.

Ah... I should've started my therapy a little bit sooner then...to keep my bursting enthusiasm down a bit. :D

Anyway...now it's clear that it's actually not clear (...) if this change will be done we can only suggest to put it in. It would be an effective change IMHO* just as ogden2k pointed out.

I think people are used to the way -for example- Outlook Express works. One of the most used email-software today or.... ofcourse Hotmail. Inside Hotmail : when you go to the overview of your InBox* you have a list of links on your left:

http://64.4.26.24/i.of.gifInbox (3)
http://64.4.26.24/i.cf.gifUnwanted mail
http://64.4.26.24/i.cf.gifSent items
http://64.4.26.24/i.cf.gifConcepts
http://64.4.26.24/i.cf.gifTrash Bin

Just like Outlook Express. Most people are used to this kind of interface.

I think the remark on vb.org says a lot:

Quote:
'You know it happens to me pretty often that my users wonder why they cannot receive any more pm's. the standard question "did you check your sent items folder?" is answered with the standard question "do i have a sent items folder?"...

I agree... searching for a folder inside a dropdown-list isn't very user-friendly IMHO. I prefer it to be visible all the time* just like all my root-folders in my Windows Explorer... ;)

Thanks for listening*


This RC1 release finally provides us with this.
