It would be great for some but not for server performance. It's one of the reasons I uninstalled the AJAX plugin that had the mailbox thingy. Every search for Today's Posts is a mySQL query. Imagine hundreds of people leaving their computers on while their Today's Posts keep refreshing. I might actually disable the Who's Online for many of the users simply because every one of these things is a server load thing.

Features are great but making sure information can still get out is key.

Good suggestion but it's not something I want to have even if I can have it.
