Pandora Mail toolbar improvements compared with Eudora

Just a few more observations in this post. Firstly, here's my toolbar customisation in Eudora. This works best for me after decades of use. I realise that others will want a different arrangement, it's definitely a matter of personal preference.

And in Pandora I've gone for a pretty similar arrangement:

In just over a week with Pandora, I've found that there are distinctly more toolbar configuration options. You launch toolbar customisation from the Settings nenu:

You add a mailbox (in this example, Pandora Mail) by dragging from the right-hand panel to the desired toolbar location:

A distinct advantage over Eudora is that the toolbar button for each added mailbox  has the mailbox name (such as "Pandora Mail") displayed in the toolbar. In Eudora, you finish up with identical mailbox icons and not toolbar text, so you can' tell them apart (only by mousing over a toolbar icon will you see a Toolbar Tip appear for a few seconds).

Adding button separators to the toolbar in Eudora is an unusual operation (you hold down  the Alt key and move a toolbar icon sideways, whereupon a separator appears). In Pandora, you simply drag the <------ button separator ------> from the right panel to the desired location in the toolbar (similarly for button padding).

What's more, you can drag multiple button separators side-by-side to make a sort of "thick button separator" which is what I've done to cause the "Delete" button really stand out (so that I'm less likely to click it inadvertently):

Yet another nicety for you to consider migration from Eudora to Pandora.
