What Triggers 'Read' Filter
Hi I know this may be a really dumb question! But what actually triggers the 'Read' filter? Is it the action of actually reading the mail OR is it the fact that a mail has been read? I ask because I would like a filter that moves mails that have been read and are of a certain age to a specified folder. I want to archive certain messages when they reach a specific age and I have read them. I tried the 'Alternative deletion method for purging folders' but it doesn't seem to work the way I want as my archive folder ends up with messages I don't want to keep. Or maybe I just can't see the obvious. -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 3.60.07 and BayesIt! 0.8.4 Release Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You could create a filter that checks whether the message has been read and is older than your specific age and then moves the message to another folder. And then you create a recurring re-filter action in the scheduler and assign that filter to it. -- Groetjes, Roelof Windows: If I wanted a MAC, I woulda BOUGHT one!

That's the bit I was missing! -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 3.60.07 and BayesIt! 0.8.4 Release Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

B Where do I place the filter, Incoming, Outgoing, Read, Replied or B Selective Download? I'd place it between the incoming filters. Together with the required 'read' status that will mean that it won't be triggered by accident. And then you create a recurring re-filter action in the scheduler and assign that filter to it. B That's the bit I was missing! For this you need to set the folder (in the schedule) you want to run the filter on. The last time I tried it, it worked only for the first selected folder. So when you want to process multiple folders, I'd suggest that you use multiple schedules. -- Groetjes, Roelof WYSIWYG: see Optical illusion The Bat! 3.61.13 Echo (Beta) Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 1 pop3 account, server on LAN OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM pgp5eXkRCkt0N.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
