Hello Tom, > I would like to set up a filter to copy all incoming emails arriving > in a specific account to a new folder or ideally virtual folder > provided the sender's email is already in the original folder (ie. > use the filter to notify me that an incoming email is from a known > source as opposed to be a brand-new sender). Is this possible?
Yes, it is possible in several ways. Perhaps the easiest and most straight forward way would be that you add your 'known sources' to the address book. Then, you can make Active the <Known> Incoming filter that is included by default by TB in the Sorting Office when an account is created. This way, messages from 'known sources' will be moved to Inbox-Known folder and the rest will just stay in normal Inbox. If you want to keep messages from 'known sources' in a separate folder for each, you can modify the action in <Known> filter and use the %FromName or %ABFromName macros for the folder name instead of 'Inbox-Known'. > Also, when I fiddled with the folders, I set up a virtual folder > linked to the original folder.

I am afraid deleting it will delete all original emails too, > something I don't want to do? NO problem. If you delete a Virtual Folder the messages that were _shown_ (not stored) in it will stay in whatever real folder they were actually in. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
