Things are a bit werrid in both text and x11 modes, like when the
server errors, that will mess you up and have to go back to the inbox
and re-goto the thread but it works, I'm in x11 mode now and that's

As for those who said use pop3 well the whole point of webmail is that
decentralised and I can login from anywhere in the world with a simple
web browser, you can't do that what pop3 or imap.
