Ok. I have still a few suggestions! ;)

Yes.

Ah, great. I changed, this was not working immediatly.
So I remembered, most often you have to restart the App, and so its is
working.

Small Notice: There was the warning then: Another Instance is running,
I pressed yes.

I see, you have to remember after refreshing the list the position and
the state of the folding. I can imagine, this is not trivial.

I'm sure, I will discover some more useful things about your program!
In some cases, it already beats forte agent!


Some remarks:

* I don't find any function to delete threads or single messages (for
spam messages for instance)

* It would be fine to have an option to switch in search for "case
insensitive" as default on.

* nice would be, if nothing is found in the search, a little message
box appear.

* threads are somtimes not assigned correctly, this means, that
one thread is divided into two.
I subscribed to wxPyhton mailing list in gmane, and there is:
One thread
Applications written in wxPyhton
and another
RE: Applications written in wxPyhton

but this (is) or should be *one* thread.

* the enter key is not working in some dialogs (for example in search)
and Esc to cancel the dialog. (or is that a gkt issue?)

* the find dialog is sometimes not working

* in the find, it would be nice to remember the last state.
I check (case insensitive on, and the next time, this option is of
again).

* After starting XPN, it would be good, to jump
either the last selected group or the first group immediatly
showing the headers.

* to mark more than one article at one time (to be able to mark
multiple articles at one as read, ...)

* If I press 'n' for next: the last message is reached in a group,
and I find it useful to jump to the next group and looks for the next
unread message. (Now it simply stops there).

If I am wrong about some things, please correct me.
It could be that I have overseen some things.

best regards,
