Why can't a message belong to the categories (Color M> Groups) 'Important', 'Waiting Response', 'For Reference?, 'Offers', or M> whatever? The colour groups are assigned by filters. These filters have filtering conditions. The virtual folders are search results, a way of filtering just for display, but filtering nevertheless. These filters also have conditions. If I understand you correctly, message A should have both colour group 1 and colour group 2 assigned, so you can see it when I search for CG1 and also when you search for CG2. You might even have VFs that look for CGs accordingly, so you don't need to start the search manually every time. Why don't you just create a virtual folder that searches for / filters on the conditions that you use to assign CG1 *or*/*and* (whichever is applicable in your case) CG2? Or better, just create a VF that searches for the conditions in CG1 and another that searches for the conditions in CG2? This way, a message can be found by both filters and will be shown in both VFs, without even the need of the intermittent step of assigning the CGs in the first place (unless you like colours).

Also, having to select 'Watch M> replies in...' is not too intuitive. You won't have this problem if you create the virtual folders the way I suggest above. -- Cheers, Thomas.
