Hello TBUL, In short I want to manage the TBUL message base which is based upon purging messages based upon a number of days and keeping those messages deemed worth keeping.
This is what I"ve attempted to do, but it is not working. I'm trying to create a manual filter of read messages of looking at the messages in a folder with a certain color group and moving them to another folder. This folder I'm trying to move the messages to is actually a sub-folder of the original. What I've done since starting to use TB! is use color groups to indicate what type of helpful TB! hint the message is from TBUL. One of the actions in addition to the move on the filter is to Park the message. I then was planning on purging the folder based upon time frame. >From what of read about "Read" filters is they have to be applied automatically meaning at the time the message is marked read. If this is the case my intended use of the filter will NOT work, since all messages are already marked as read. Thinking about how TB! works here with reading other applicable TBUL messages I probably would be best doing a search on the color group, then move all to the intended folder. I would have to park all the messages by selecting them and a Ctrl + J. I would have to change how messages are marked "read" from 2 seconds to manual, then change my manual "Read" filter to active. If I understand everything correctly, then when I mark the messages as read manually (Ctrl + M). The only issue I have with my solution provided it is workable is that now I have to manually mark all messages as read. This would be lots of Ctrl + M's. A possible IGNORE capability is looking real good now. I've included a copy of my filter below providing my thinking is correct for the solution. Is my thinking correct here on a go forward basis, or what is my best alternative to do what I want to do? Do sub-folders inherit the characteristics of their parent and can they be changed?
