Hi Eric, This is not a problem. Make a couple of smart folders, set them to only show unread messages in the smart mail box rules, and add which mailbox they should work for. This way, you could for example have one smart mailbox that only shows unread private mail, and another to show only unread list messages. I use it all the time, and it works great. I can decide either to work with unread list messages sorted by thread, or switch to another smart mailbox where I will only find unread private messages, and see what is new.
Hope this helps! Take care, John André On 17. okt. 2010, at 10.51, Eric Oyen wrote: > that is what I was afraid of.
