(to me, anyway) is the ability to send/receive mail through multiple servers. At the same time I need to file, much, but not all, of that incoming mail, in folders which do not necessarily correspond on a one-to-one basis to the servers. Yes, this can be done using multiple copies of the same set of filters, one for each account. But this gets messy when dealing with more than two or three accounts; keeping the various identical filter sets synchronized is time-consuming and subject to error. > ...

No, of course we don't want to do away with account filters. What I have in mind is two levels of filters; a 'global' (or common) level and an 'account' level. A global filter would be the default and would operate unless an account filter took precedence. Something very much like the way templates are handled at the account and folder levels. -- Dave Goodman The Bat! v1.53d on Windows 98 ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
