Bug Description

An "Open Mailbox" option would be useful when there is mail from Hotmail, Yahoo! or a webmail POP3 account with new mail.

I use these accounts for online registrations, for example, where I just want to read the email and maybe click on a link but don't want to download it- same goes for newsletters, adverts etc.

As I understand it, Gmail emails include the address of the webmail URL and so allow the "Open Latest Message", but for other accounts, there could be an option for the user to associate a webmail URL with each account. The user could paste in the URL, and the program could display a option in the drop down menu when mail from that account is present in the mailbox.

This would be consistent for all mail accounts, and would save time scrolling through bookmarks looking for the link.

Thanks for a really useful program, by the way.
