Hello TBBETA, hi 9val, I made a suggestion in February about filtering mails to/from contacts in a powerful manner.
See the thread around <mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (in TBUDL). I'll paste this specific message, but the context in what it had been written is important - AFAIR ;) ----->8-------------------------------------------------------- dh>> it would be best to have an input box beside the "put in subfolder" dh>> checkbox that will allow to set the subfolder's name, filled by dh>> default with the AB group name for whole AB groups subfolders and the dh>> AB display name for single contacts. > So that subfolders can be defined on all three levels (AB, group, > contact). Then, when items are checked/defined, the filter order should > be: contact, group, AB. Once a match is found, filtering should stop. Exactly. > There must also be some way to assign the parent folder. That could be simply done with radio buttons: "root (Known folder), AB folder, group folder". - For ABs its root (no radio buttons). - For AB groups and Contacts without a group there are "root" and "AB folder" choices Default should be "AB" for groups/groupless contacts and "group" for contacts. To make make it visible: subfolder -name where (root/AB/group folder) x [x] AB 1 <*> AB1 x [x] GROUP 1 <*> G1 ( )(x) [x] contact 1 [x] A ( )( )(x) [x] contact 2 [x] B ( )(x)( ) [x] contact 3 [x] C (x)( )( ) [x] contact 4 [ ] D ( )( )(x) [x] contact 5 [ ] E ( )(x)( ) [x] contact 6 [ ] F (x)( )( ) x [x] GROUP 2 <*> G2 (x)( ) [x] contact 7 [x] G ( )( )(x) [x] contact 8 [x] H ( )(x)( ) [x] contact 9 [x] I (x)( )( ) [x] contact 10 [ ] J ( )( )(x) [x] contact 11 [x] K ( )(x) [x] contact 12 [x] L (x)( ) [x] contact 13 [ ] M ( )(x) [x] contact 14 [ ] N (x)( ) 1 2 3 4 (explanations below) Here goes a table what would happen with each contact, hope that I haven't messed it up: contact goes to subfolder x of \Known 1 \AB1\G1\A 2 \AB1\B 3 \C 4 \AB1\G1 (subfolder unchecked) 5 \AB1 6 \ 7 \G2\G 8 \AB1\H 9 \I 10 \G2 (no subfolder, group folder is at root) 11 \AB1\K 12 \L 13 \AB1 14 \ ... should be quite clear... ;) For the checkboxes: 1: "check for" The groups checkbox toggles whole group on/off (the contacts checkboxes). Despite this, checking a group has no effect (because every contact is below - other than AB entries that have no group -> see "contact 11-14"). 2: "move to subfolder" Default is off. Checking activates the name input box. <*>: checkbox that toggles contact's checkboxes below. 3: "name of subfolder" defaults to (AB|group|contacts) display name. 4: "where to put subfolder" quite obvious.. :) Hope the concept is clear, seems a bit confusing and because of its power it has to be implemented easy to use and understand. I hope it goes along with the "long-wished-and-hopefully-well-planned" filter system that's going to be implemented these days. ----->8-------------------------------------------------------- -- shinE!
