Would this catch cc, bcc, or forwarded messages? I am confused when you say the other accounts aren't checkable. This would mean you couldn't really send from that address either. Not necessarily. In addition to ISP email addresses, I own two domain names that I use for email and incoming mail for any username at either of those domains is all routed to one POP mailbox. Another way to handle your desire to keep account a hidden is to make a reply template that checks the recipient address (a, b, or c) and replies from the appropriate account. Just add %ACCOUNT=a, b, or c in the reply template. My solution is for one account in TB to download all mail from the POP mailbox for my two domains. Incoming mail filters direct the messages to folders in the relevant TB accounts. This means replies are from the correct account. It also sounds more efficient to filter the mail just once. -- Best regards, MFPA It's better to feed one cat than many mice Using The Bat! v3.80.06 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

That's how I do it. However, I have to write my [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] incoming filters in [EMAIL PROTECTED] Really? I am able to use common filters, rather than putting them under the wrong account. Also, I thought that if you filter to an account's inbox the messages were then checked against that account's incoming mail filters. Is this incorrect? -- Best regards, MFPA I would like to help you out. Which way did you come in?

Re: Selective download filters
A-ha!! Saw another thread that mentioned filters not working with IMAP. I just tested my Spamkill Selective download on my one POP account and it worked. I guess that makes - IMAP filters are usually done at the server, correct? I guess I need to decide if I should switch all account to POP3 or continue using IMAP and create a sorting rule that would delete unwanted messages from the server. Hmmm any recommendations? -- Ken Green TheBat! v1.62r, Win2000 SP4 Current version is 2.00 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Michael Thompson wrote: Is the string this is a string the same as This Is a String as far as the filter is concerned? Not sure about Selective download (see my troubles below), but in general, any kind of filtering is usually case-sensitive - especially if enclosed in quotes. (and regex is case-sensitive) I can't get Selective download to work. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help on this. I'm starting to wonder if a 'regular' filter that deleted items off the server would be a better option for me. I have a list of e-mail addresses and domains that I'd like to Kill (never download, delete from the server). In the Selective Download folder of Sorting Office, I created a filter rule called SpamKill. I have tried entering the list of addresses in the signal strings box, as well as using a text file and checking 'load signal strings from a file' - in both cases, each address/domain was listed on a new line, and the Advanced tab options were: Action: Kill and Detection method: Any strings match. But I can't get this to work. According the help system, Selective download signal strings do not allow the special syntax used by other types of filters. How are people getting Selective Download to work? Does each string need to be in quotes or something? Should the signal strings be comma-delimited? I feel like I'm missing something terribly obvious. -- Ken Green TheBat! v1.62r, Win2000 SP4 Current version is 2.00 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
