Hi Mary, I am also an old Pmmail user and liked Pmmail also because of the filters but also becaulse of the way messages are shown, the tab-order etc.
I am now using Becky and in Becky you can do the same with filters and maybe more. You don't have the filterbuilder as in Pmmail, but making filters is not difficult and making filters, when on a message and going to the tools, filtering manager, helps and sets some options in the filter dialogue. Before Becky is working that good with Window-Eyes, you have to make some changes. Below the changes needed: To configure Becky for use with Window-eyes do the following: Go to the Tools menu and select "General Setup." Then select the message view tab. Make sure the "operate four way button by the cursor key option is unchecked. The next item you would want to change is to remove the pointer. If you fail to do this the first character of each line will be cut off. 1. Go to the tools menu and select General setup. 2. Select the editor tab. 3. Press ALT-Y to move to the "display line pointer" check box and uncheck it. Here is a tip to display the CC and BCC fields in tab order. 1. Write a new message. 2. In the TO: field press CONTROL down arrow once, this enables the CC field. Press it again to enable the BCC field. If you decide you use the CC field but not the BCC field, just press CONTROL up arrow this will remove the BCC field from the tab order. To remove the CC field from the tab order press CONTROL up arrow again. The state of the CC and BCC fields in the tab order is saved between sessions.
