There seems to be either a difference of opinion, or differences in how TB! works on different PC with possibly different versions. See my reply to Roelof.

Well I'm trying to do something similar. See my original post on this message which includes a copy of the read filter. What I'm doing is creating a manual read filter (which works according to you) and search on wild card ^.* and color group and trying to move to a sub-folder and park at the same time. What I'm trying to do is an extension of our discussion when I first started using TB!. I marked messages in this ML based upon my perception of functionality to me. I was thinking about purging message DB after period of time and parking those which are deemed important. Basically I'm learning. I agree with Roelof's suggestion in that I'm doing to much for what I need to accomplish. So I think just parking the messages and assigning a color group based upon functionality would be good. The problem appears to be how read filers work for some and not others. I'd rather keep the 2 seconds automatic mark to read because I don't want to have to Ctrl + M every message to mark as read. To me this seems like a lot of work. So either I missed something or there is got to be another way. This as well as your earlier message on how you set up TB! as well as the "ticker" thread have got me to thinking about how to manage message DB. TB! filters are a great tool, and I've read the thread on RegEx which on initial read seems to take to another level (i.e. makes even great tool even better). So if I can master TB! tools it can become an even more valuable too. BTW I'm on my 3rd beer after watching the Preakness. Great race and triple crown winner still possible. Also I noticed you never replied to my message from over a week ago on managing DB, so according to your recent message on managing TB! you must not have felt it important. <ROFLOL> I will admit some of the concepts were a little out there, but I believe valid. Given the limited response and IMHO maybe not the best place to post such a response.
