Hm, possible - I'm running v6 here.

Anyway, the other trick (copying filters to Notepad) should still
work.

gmail works fine in all email clients. Just set it up once to activate
the  POP  server.  Then  you  should never need to start a web browser
again (until you create another gmail address).  BUT  there is still the 
problem of IP address. Every so often,
you  get "web login required" messages in your email client error logs
and the only way to fix it is to actually login with a web browser.

It   is   a   real   pain   with   VPNs  (I  use  whichever one gets a
connection that doesn't drop and it's not always the same one)  or  even  IP 
addresses in different
countries without a VPN at all.

Nobody else seems to play these games with IP addresses.

I have a couple of Yahoo Groups and nothing like this has (yet)

Because the string "softroc...@stage.yahoogroups.com" does not contain 
the search string "softroc...@yahoogroups.com"

Yes. My suggestion is to copy them one at a time to Notepad. 

Then, when you have them all in notepad use the Replace function to
change all instances of "@yahoogroups.com" (without quotes) to
"@stage.yahoogroups.com" or "@*yahoogroups.com" (without quotes).

Then copy the whole of the notepad text back into your sorting office. 
(You may like to take the precaution of a backup first!) 

You will probably have to visit the "Share with..." tab of each filter
and re-select which accounts to apply them to.

I never see that, since Gmail works perfectly well in The Bat! using
SMTP/POP without resorting to their terrible (IMHO) webmail interface.

I take it you mean the fields get populated with that URL itself, since 
following the URL gives me Google's "401 error" page.

That may be version-specific, as it is slightly different here.

If I right-click, for example, "Incoming Mail" or "Read Messages," the
only option not greyed-out is "New Filter." However, if I right-click
one of my filters, the available options include "Copy Tree."
