We have been through this. If you want to use seperate Incoming and Outgoing filters, you still can. Just check only Incoming or only Outgoing. However, for me and many other people, it would be useful and increase efficiency not to have the duplication we have now.

But as I said, you can still set up one filter as Incoming and use Sender, while you make another Outgoing and filter on Recipient. The exact functionality we have now can still be maintained. for me, it's inefficient as *every* filter has to be duplicated.

You are *not forced* to use a filter for both, you have tickmarks. It is entirely up to you to tick only Incoming or Outgoing, having the exact same functionality you have now, or tick both, which would increase efficiency for many of us. M> and more so if the 'continue processing with other filters' option M> is used. This has nothing to do with it. When messages are incoming, all the filters that have Incoming checked are used, in very much the same way the Incoing filters used now. When you send messages (which is a different activity of the program), all filters having Outgoing checked will be used, very much like now. The only difference will be that one filter can have both Incoming and Outgoing checked, if you want. If you don't want, then don't check both. Easy. Miguel, the funcitionality in the wish will not take anything away from you. You can still work the same way you work now. for some (or many) of us, it would avoid duplication of filters, because we work differently from you. I don't understand why you say you hope this will never be implemented. If this is an additional funcitonality but you don't want to use it, I don't see why you would be against it being implemented for those who do? I don't use IMAP, I have never said I hope it won't be implemented, because the functionality I use, POP, is still there the same old way. -- Cheers, Thomas.
