AS> I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how virtual folders work in The Bat.

The latter folder AS> would allow all messages that come in at one time to be more AS> easily viewed that hunting for them among a couple dozen folders. AS> 2. Is it possible to enable messages from many different mail AS> accounts to be copied into the virtual folder? AS> Of course, I could accomplish no. 1 by leaving them in the inbox AS> and copying them as well into whatever folder I want to place AS> them. But, this takes up double the disk space for each message. AS> With a virtual folder, the message is stored only once, but is AS> also "seen" by the virtual folder. Lotus Notes allows for this. AS> How does it work in The Bat? I don't see a way to filter messages into a virtual folder. I have multiple accounts and have separate virtual folders to watch all the Inboxes at once. The mail stays in the correct inbox, yet I can view it and act on it in accordance with it's specific account settings I have another that views all the trash folders, which makes it easy to clean out the trash each night Yet another views all of certain color groups across all folders with the sort by name and showing the account in which it resides The virtual folder it basically a view of whatever you want, filtered and sorted the way you want it -- Rick All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream ~ Edgar Allan Poe ~ v5.3.2.4 (BETA) on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
