I am not an IMAP user because I have developed a system of POP management that works well for me. However, in following the IMAP threads for many months one thing seems incongruous to me and may help explain some of the various levels of success. It seems to me that server-side filtering should be the primary method of filtering and only client-side sub-filtering when truly necessary. If all the filtering is done on the client one of the major advantages of IMAP is ignored. Server-side filtering _has_ to be much more efficient. Since IMAP adds another management layer it becomes real important to understand and properly implement the filters on both sides. Your approach to this seems the most logical to me. -- Take Care, Paul The Bat! v.3.60.03 Forerunner (Beta) on Win2k SP4-Rollup1 5.0.2195 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.60.03 forerunner | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
