The beta test team and I are currently discussing how the Pegasus Mail settings tree could be reorganized, and whether there are options that should be added or removed. A key factor in this discussion involves how preferences for identities should behave
My personal belief is that there are too many options in the program, and that they are not well-organized at the moment. I feel sure there must be changes and removals we can make, but I want to be sure I'm doing this in an informed way.
Regarding identity preferences - my favoured approach here is that only identity preferences that are explicitly changed by the user should be used while an identity is active, with all other preferences (that the user has not explicitly changed) being satisfied from the default preference set. This would allow your identities to operate on difference, rather than just being a wholesale duplication: it would mean that changing a value for all your identities would just involve changing it in the default set, unless you had explicitly changed it in the identity itself.
Anyway, I'd like to get input from the community on what should and shouldn't be done here - if you have ideas or thoughts about preferences and the way they work, please post them in this topic. I'll check it from time to time and will take all feedback into account.
Cheers!
