Description Johny Why 2015-05-26 20:56:10 UTC
hi

this might already be your plan, but requesting that, if i scroll to bottom of message list, the next batch loaded should match the time-window specified by user in account settings. 

Eg, if set to 3 months, then each next batch loaded on scrolling to bottom of list should be 3 months. 

I posted this request, because it seems that your current design is to load only the user-specified time-window for the first batch, and then 2-weeks per batch after that. 

My rationale is that (for me as an email user) if i set an account to load 3 months back, it means, in general, i'm interested in 3-month time-windows. If the message i seek is not found 3 months back, then i'm definitely going to want to load the NEXT 3 months back, not sit there waiting for 2-week batches to dribble in, having to repeatedly scroll to bottom of list to get next batch. 

on the other hand, if i set an account to 2-weeks back, it means i'm interested in small time window (for that account). 

thx again for a fantastic email client!
