I have a "Lists" folder with a > subfolder for each mailing list I'm on (more than a dozen). I would like to second using categories for your rules. Just check out the Rules section for how to set up. It's important to include "not from a mailing list" to sort your Buddy or Friend's mail. :-) <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/rules/rules.html> My Main folders: Talk lists Newsletters Buddies Work Family Info/Tips (use this to store mail with good suggestions) Junk One subfolder under the Inbox is for subscription info. I highly suggest everyone have a folder where they keep subscribe/unsubscribe info. At this point it might be easier to start with a clean identity and organize it. Keep the old identity as an archive. It's easy to switch identities to check for mail. -- Diane Ross MVP Entourage (MVPs are volunteers) Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
