Hello Karin & others on TBUDL following this thread,
Monday, January 08, 2001, you stated regarding whether or not:
>> it [would] do me any good to compress if TB! is nearly always
>> open? (I even use it for certain word processing tasks), and
>> don't tend to eliminate messages except manually or via spam
>> filters
KS> Most probably: yes. Because everything goes to your inbox
KS> first and will be filtered or manually moved to seperate
KS> folders (unless you keep everything in your inbox).
Whoa! When are folders compressed? When TB! is closed or when the
folder is left for another?
Re where my mail goes: Lists and regular things are filtered to
their own folders, occasional things stay in the inbox unless copied
or moved to specific issue oriented folders. So all my recent
inboxes are kept free of unread messages and any spam getting
through is killed there.
That way I can see at a glance whether anything new has come in,
without the ticker (by viewing the new column).
Some inboxes aren't filtered (no subdirectories have been made),
since I opened so many accounts that proved their worth when my long
time main account source (3 accounts) left Mexico and blocked
access, leaving no way to contact them (though I was finally able to
do so). I originally subscribed to TBUDL using one of those
accounts.
So I have one account that has nothing in the inbox and just one
subdirectory named "selfbcc" to which copies of some things I send
arrive. Another account's inbox receives the mainly the New York
Times headlines and so on. 17 accounts is a pretty fair number
(others were opened but didn't pan out). A good number have fairly
elaborate filing systems and one has an extremely elaborate one.
(101 folders). Enough anecdotal data.
I'd better repeat: When are folders compressed? When TB! is closed
or when the folder is left for another? Or does compression have
novel meaning here (like deleting deleted messages)? It's all very
logical once you know why, just surprising, as are many of the
things most folks take for granted (if one knows what to focus on).
