Hi,
This extension is really great but however I often have problems in using this extension since the "view with the tree of messages above the conversation view is doing stuff that should be done from the conversation view.

What I suggest is that one has only the left bar with the email accounts and on the right there is the conversion view one line per thread in a collapsed state. The new threads are Bold. By clicking on one thread it gets expands and shows the conversion exactly the same as in conversion view now but above and below are the other threads collapsed.

With that modification I'd have one pane to read, and navigate my email in fact to read all mails I don't have any focus jump I can just scroll and read down, arriving directly at the next thread which I can expand with a click. The mouse will probably be already in the right position or at least near the right position since most people have the habit to always follow the focus of the eye with the mouse.

Hope I made myself clear enough
