Check out bpanel.txt in the resource directory for the toolbar.pm file.  Here's a toolbar.pm with a number of quick moves.

I picked the icons out of the icons in the png folder so that they would match the other icons on the toolbars.

No.

Huh?  When the folders are open under the top level menu "Messages" there the a menu Quick copy/move and a sub menu to edit the quick move functions.

Not at all.

I noticed the "Quick Actions" feature and decided it would be very useful when cleaning up my inbox and moving emails to their appropriate folders. I have a few regular clients, and also belong to a couple of organizations, so there's enough emails generated to make good use of "Quick Actions", but it seems like a limited tool. Once the action has been setup (move to folder 'xyz') there's no indication/label/reminder of what that action does without going back to Folder -> Quick Actions -> Define Quick Actions to see which actions does what.

Is there a way to rename the "Quick Action #1" entry?

Is there a way to make a custom button or pull-down menu on the toolbar that would disply the predefined actions (as a reminder)?

Is there a way to add a renamed "Quick Action #1" entry to a right-click mouse menu?

I see a mention of "Quick Folders" in the help files. But I cannot find the Quick copy/move submenu of the Folder menu that it refers to and the "Quick Folders" define button takes me right back to my already defined "Quick Actions".

There's a nice menu bar displayed in the help files that looks like what I'm looking for. Is this something that will only appear in v5?

Thanks

Russell
