OHHHHHHHH!

That did it – thank you so much!

I thought that Remove From List would disable the action altogether, but apparently it just removes the action from the new thingie.

So I did what you said (removed Read and Delete from the list) then I tried marking a message as Read from my Inbox itself, and it worked. And Delete also worked. And no more ridiculous hovering Xs or envelopes.

Thank you so much!

I feel much better now.

well thats the thing then. you go to instant actions. (i thought you wanted to remove everything). but you can customize everything, which buttons you want when you hover, or if you want them permanently.

it says “Show on mouse over
” so you put icons there and they are active when you hover your mouse. and if you want them permanently put icons on “Show always
”
you can move ítems by “Move up” “Move down”

if you dont want a button. you select it and you “Remove from list”.

of course if you want to add an ítem you “add item”

so only select the ones like the read one on show when mouse is over. and delete and end!

Yes, I’ve tried that – but when I uncheck Instant Actions, it also disables flagging.

I have Instant Action unchecked now, and if I mark a message as Flagged, well – there’s no flag, lol. I’ve tried flagging it from the message header in my Inbox, and from the actual opened email. No joy. Maybe because I’m usimg Firefox?? I haven’t tried it in IE (which I never use).

It’s not a huge deal, I can live with it – I just
preferred it the previous way.

Thanks for trying to help.

you can make them go away….

go to Options —–> instant actions.

in fact in the email they send you you can Access the link which takes you there. and then ou can customize the way you want. or you can remove them at all.

“Show instant actions
” uncheck that and… thats it…

Yes, I’ve done that. What I dislike is that there is no way to disable the X (for Delete) and the envelope (for Read) that
appear whenever your cursor is over an email. That little
nicety is NOT an option – unless you disable flagging as well.

A small matter, to be sure – but I find it annoying.
And I can’t make them go away, without losing flagging
along with them.

Why couldn’t they have just the optional feature of flagged
email on top, without the extra eye-candy?

Yes, options are great – IF you’re given them.
