However, what you can do is copy the filter(s) into Notepad and paste them into the other account. Create a new blank text document in Notepad Open account with filters you want to copy (Account / Sorting Office - Filters) 1 Click to highlight a filter to copy. 2 Ctrl-C (copy) 3 Switch to Notepad then 4 Ctl-V (paste) Click back into the filters dialog and repeat steps 1 - 4 until you have all filters in Notepad. When you have finished, copy all the contents of the Notepad document (Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-C) Now, go to the new account where you want the filters imported. Open the filters dialog (Account / Sorting Office - Filters) Right- Click the appropriate filter group (incoming, outgoing etc). Choose Paste. All your filters will go in! This method is also useful for manual editing where one thing changes such as an e-mail address. Instead of going through each filter in turn, edit the Notepad document with search and replace, then import it in.

Highlight the first filter you want to copy, copy it (either using the right-click menu or Ctrl-C). Open Notepad Paste it in there. Now highlight the next filter copy paste it to Notepad too. Continue until you have all the filters in the Notepad document. Now highlight the whole lot, press Ctrl-C to copy it. Go to the account where you want those filters to be, open the Sorting Office. Highlight the Incoming (or whichever's appropriate) press Ctrl-V to paste. All the filters will be copied there. AFAIK there's no faster way to get all the filters *into* Notepad, but maybe someone else knows of one. -- Deborah Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You *could* set up a filter in each account which would move *every* email to a particular account, then set up global filters for *that* account - which would do the same thing, but it's not ideal :-/ -- Deborah Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Not that I am aware of (useful feature request!). However, what you can do is copy the filter(s) into Notepad and paste them into the other account. After copying the filter(s) into another account, be sure to check any paths that are included in the copy of the filter filter. For example, suppose Filter is being copied from Account_1 to Account_2. Also suppose that in Account_1 Filter is set up to: Move messages to folder [Trash] The Account_2 copy of Filter will be set up to: Move messages to folder [\\Account_1\Trash] which may not (or may) be where you want the messages to go.
