(...) What earthly difference can it make > which copy is kept? As someone pointed out, the duplicate checker supposedly only checks within each folder separately, not across folders. BUT if it were to check across folders, and some messages would be leftovers lying amongling in the Inbox, while their copies (heck knows how, maybe results of a failed mail fetch?) ended up in the folders they're now supposed to be in, the dupe checker would either kill the messages in the Inbox leaving the sorted ones in their places, or kill the ones in target folders leaving the ones cluttering up my Inbox untouched. Now that's a very un-nice "undefined behaviour" situation, isn't it? -- |\ /| \~~~/ \~~~/ | \/ | /\ > < \~/ > < ICQ# 3146019 |____| /__\ /___\ /_\ /___\ IQ# 3.14159 Bad is never good until worse happens.
