I just discovered that PowerMail v5 can send & receive AOL mail via an
IMAP server. :-)

This is really nifty, as I don't like having to use a separate program
just to deal with AOL mail.

What I noticed is that because it's using an IMAP style connection, the
messages all vanish when you disconnect. That's not what I want & it
means that AOL can delete those whenever they feel like it. If I drag the
IMAP messages from the AOL inbox folder (in PowerMail) to another folder
they are copied. Cool. Now how can that be automated? 

I tried setting up a Mail Filter:

IF Account   IS    my_aol_acct
IF Status    IS   Unread
Execute actions if all conditions are met

Actions:
Move message into folder:  "zAol inbox".

But it doesn't work. Any suggestions or solutions?  
Do mail actions apply to IMAP mail? 

Best,
 Dave Nathanson
