You can't do that, unless you write a filter for each folder and even then you'd better hope that your filters can be triggered by the same rules as your incoming mail. If that's not the case you'd need folder templates that id the folder you've written the mail, so that your filters can recognize the originating folders.

The only difference TB makes between replies, new messages and forwards is the template it offers you before you start composing. After that they're treated the same. The only way to do something like this and still to be able to use address book templates (I wouldn't like to give up those.) is to cheat TB. Since you can't use folder templates to differentiate between folders, because AB-templates take precedence before folder templates, cheating is the way to go. Don't start creating new folders, but create new accounts every time you need a new folder. Set the properties for every account the same as your primary account, but don't allow them to collect mail. If they all would collect mail, you'd need all of your incoming filters in all of your accounts. Your outgoing messages will be kept in the originating account, that's not necessarily the same as the originating folder, but it we're almost there. Since all outgoing messages are collected in 'Sent messages' the only thing you need to achieve is to get your incoming messages into 'Sent messages' too. That's easy. You're filtering incoming messages anyhow. In stead of filtering your messages to folders in your primary account, you start to filter them into another account, however you need to point to a target folder in that account, so why not make that 'Sent messages'? This way you can use the %account macro in your AB-templates to point to the folder/account where you'd like to store all correspondence with that contact. -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
