Is there a way to avoid this? This is the same as with Netscape 4.x. The filtering action "Move to folder" is a misnomer - it should be "Copy to folder and leave a copy marked for deletion in the Inbox". This is an excellent way to keep an eye on mailing list activity without having to look at the mailboxes of each mailing list. (I am 33 or so.) I think it is a big feature! Ordinary server-based mail filtering (and I guess some clients, like when I used Pegasus mail in the past) does not leave a copy in the Inbox. A really capable server-based mail filtering program called Courier Maildrop had everything which opens and shuts in terms of filtering language, but it couldn't do what I just described. So I added a feature to do this - and now I am very happy! http://www.firstpr.com.au/web-mail/ - Robin
