I confess that in an effort to be explicit, I just got real wordy. Let me try again. All my mailing list mail comes to me through a special mail account and is filtered into appropriate search folders -- with one exception. Mail from my special Linux account [email protected] addressed to me personally. That mail is shown in a search folder called Personal Mail. The [email protected] account I give almost exclusively to mail lists. So far so good. When sending mail or replying to mail lists, because of the way I have it set up, threads within the mail list search folders are kept together -- with one exception. The Personal Mail folder. Because the Personal Mail folder is not a mail list my outgoing posts are never shown in the Personal Mail folder. Hence I lose continuity and threads. I would like to figure out a way to filter those personal outgoing posts so they also appear in my Personal Mail folder. I am able to keep threads intact in my mailing list folders not because of a filter I have created but because mailing lists naturally enough copy my posts back to me along with other people's. The above would be easy to accomplish I think, if there was a "not a mail list" search criteria and/or a way to make message filter duplicate and loop back to the inbox specifically defined outgoing mail. So .. can anyone suggest a way to maintain threads in this Personal Mail Folder? > Am Freitag, den 03.04.2009, 23:52 -0400 schrieb William Case: > > Hi; > > > > I am having a problem solving the following search filter and folder > > problem. > > > > I have two IP accounts 1) [email protected] that I use for family and friends, > > and 2) [email protected] that I use for my Linux mailing lists and other > > postings regarding linux. > > > > My POP mail arrives in my mbox:inbox account. > > > > My first account is message filtered into two folders, +Friends and > > +Family.
