I have a question about the handling of msgs in the results of a folder search. Let me call the resulting window the "search folder" for now.
I think the question is similar to a question as to whether the msg is copied to the resulting "search folder" or whether the folder "points" to the original msg. What happens if I delete a msg from the "search folder"? Should the msg be deleted from its original folder? I would expect yes, but that's not what I see. Similar question for a "move" operation. It seems to move a msg copy from the "search folder" to the new folder, leaving the original ms in its original folder. Bottom line: I think it would be more intuitive to be working (for delete and move especially, but also for changing the flags) with the original msgs. Of course I have no clue as to whether this would be a huge complication, although I can see it means that the structure of such "virtual folders" would have to differ in key ways from the standard mail folders. E.g., suppose I have a virtual search folder open and I delete the original. Right now the copy is untouched in the virtual folder. I believe it should "disappear". I notice that, presumably in response to such considerations, the new Opera email client stores all mail in a single folder and all other folders contain only pointers to the originals. I would actually hate this, since I like to move folders into storage from time to time, but at the same time I can see the problem it addresses. Cheers, Alan PS Minor observation: if I mark all messages in a search folder for deletion and then press "x" to expunge them, one is not expunged. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
