If I'm understanding you right, you can right click on your email address and add a new folder. I have two: Temp and Keepers. Porbably I didn't explain very well. I have lots of folders but all of them are on the IMAP server and of course, I can copy/move messages between them. I do not have problems creating folders on the server. My problem is creating folders on my filesystem. And I want these folders to behave like those on the server. The perfect example of such a folder (and of what I want) is the Local folders folder which is stored on my machine filesystem and which is accessible from the folder pane. Can I create another folder similar to Local folders which is not stored under Local folders? I drag emails about orders etc into Temp until the order is received. Keepers is for later archiving as .txt or .eml files on another hard drive. regards cristi In addition to what Christian described, let me add: Each account (POP, IMAP and also 'Local Folder') has it's own file location where the mail collection is stored, it's basically a plain file (WIN-wise)). The dark side is: you can have one one file location per account. The bright side is, you can place for each account the file onto a different WIN-dir. And I have placed all folders into a structure like this: D:\_Mozilla\TB_gW\Profiles\gW\Mail\ -- my pop accounts D:\_Mozilla\TB_gW\Profiles\gW\ImapMail\ -- my imap accounts D:\_Mozilla\TB_gW\mailFolder\local\ -- my local folder You see you can place it anywhere on the (WIN) PC. Now, if you want to store your important-mail to a very separate location, you define a dummy account. Place the folder location onto eg. 'F:\myimportantmails'. How to do: I'm using TB, but SM should be similar: this setting is at 'View seetings of the account', go to 'Server setting' .. there you have Local directory .. use [Browse ... ] ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
custom filesystem folders
