I do the same thing -- 'dummy' filters that act as dividers. Folders
would be preferable, of course, as they would, when collapsed, actually
shorten the filter list considerably, whereas our current workaround
lengthens it.
From my own point of view, the filter organisation issue is a completely

I tend to be more of a lurker these days due to time. But I think Matthias hit
this one on the head. There are a lot of areas that need attention in
PowerMail, more so than others. IMAP support has always been hit-and-miss, and
while I only use it

Rick,
it's not that I didn't understand, what you want.
And I also think it would be nice as an option, especially if one has
tons of different filters.

better IMAP support.

Good for you. Me, I'm going to get on with some work.

The Smart folders act somewhat like filters, so now I do not need to
file into different folders and thus do not need the filter, I can view
the mail within the Smart folders instead. This saves me 10 filters in
the Filter window and thus the Filter window will be less

the same screen.

Generally, I feel that because duplicate messages requires that all

Yes. All one has to do is spend a few minutes in Mail and play around
with the smart folders to see how unbelievably powerful they are.
After all what is RMW but a smart window with the criteria of 'new
