For things like mailings and automated messages (like bugzilla messages), I use physical folders (I recently converted to server-side procmail filtering because it's easier to automatically process all lists that way). That keeps my inbox relatively small, and is essentially guaranteed to get things right. For sender-based things (like, 'mail from Mom', 'mail from boss') I use vFolders across all my physical folders. mike > > Thanks, > > nbc > > NAME: Neil B.
