Now I can't hover anymore. The other program is active and wherever I place my mousepointer doesn't matter. I have to click the mail client and then scroll through the list.
No hovering at all anymore.
Odd, this was always one of the features I admired in linux that frustrated me about Windows (at least, once I noticed it elsewhere ).

IME, On WinXP and Win7, whichever window currently has focus gets scrolled, no matter which window is hovered over. (One click will focus+do_action, though.)

In fact, I just googled the issue, and got a page full of links to Windows apps that promise to "bring this mac feature to Windows".
