OK, here we go. *Reply on TBBeta* Is a VF looking at (and only at)TBBeta real folder for messages with Colour Group 'Reply' (i.e. Filter = Colour is Reply). I have a colour group that I call 'Reply' to mark messages (in any account) that I want or need to reply to. This way, for example in TBBeta, when I mark a message for reply (assign to Reply colour group) is it automagically displayed in this VF. This is for example what I did with you message yesterday. *Verify* Very similar to the above one. It is another VF looking to TBBeta for messages assigned to 'Verify colour group, which I use to mark messages that report a problem (or a fix) and I want to verify by myself. *Watch TBBeta* This one is perhaps a little more tricky. Watch folders (also called Chat folders) are a special type of VFs that do not have 'Filter' capabilities and set up options like normal VFs. The way they work, basically, is as follows. Once a Watch folder is created to 'look in one or more folder' (TBBeta folder only in my case), you can go to into that folder messages list, select a message, right click on it and, on the context menu, select 'Specials/Watch replies in' and then the name of the Watch folder. What happens then is the messages you clicked on, plus any existing replies (i.e thread) will be displayed in the Watch folder. But what is most important and useful is than any future replies to any of the messages in the thread will be displayed in the watch folder. I have one of these watch folders for each mailing list and newsgroup I am subscribed to. This way, if I am particularly interested in a thread, I select the first message and do Specials/Watch replies in... *To me* This one is a normal VF just looking for messages in TBBeta that are assigned to colour group 'R2me' (replies to me). Perhaps the 'tricky' part about this one is the way messages are marked as replies t me. I do this with and incoming sub-filter, actually one of the ones that I was testing with this thread. What the sub-filter looks for is for the domain part of my email address '@rancho-k.com' in the In-Reply-To: header field. If present, then that message is a direct reply to me(although coming to TBBeta) and is assigned to 'R2me' colour group. And that's basically all. Feel free to ask is something is still unclear. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
