Well, to add to that: The most reliable work flow or use case for those virtual folders to me is to create a saved search and then use the menu item to create a (virtual) search folder from that search. With that I had the best user experience. I use a virtual folder to expunge, expire old mails, but to get them updated correctly, I regularly have to open the preferences, change the time period, click OK, reopen the pref dialog, set the time value back to the old value. In summary: Virtual folders have their uses, but don't rely on them like regular mail folders. -- thomas _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
