When I'm on my gmail site, and a new mail comes in, the page updates to reflect this. If I get new spam, the counter next to my spam folder increments.


How possible would it be to have the pages like "Recent Threads", "My Friends Threads", "My Subscribed Threads" and the like auto-update in this way? (Not sure if this would make the page more or less usable, but wondering about the possibility mainly.)

Technically it is fully possible. In terms of additional load to the server, additional bandwidth and additional maintenance complexity it is a big no-go for at least the near term.
