Please read my message again. The "combo box" you mention is exactly what I'm talking about. The existing criteria are of limited use and I want to be able to add my own. Telling me to use the Search box completely misses the point, which is that I wish to define a *default* view for a folder and if necessary then search within it, as I already can if the default is one of the predefined options, e.g. Unread. I can't do this conveniently if I'm already using Search to define the default view. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
