In your Sorting Office screen, you can click next to Incoming Mail. And the folder expands to list all your rules. (If folks weren't so concerned with viruses, I could just attach an example picture to illustrate, but we'll do without.) People suggest that you set a filter at the top so you're sure that the filter is applied to your mail, and not instead caught by a filter lower down in the list. c> I'll explain again. c> And since you are also using FastMail, it's great and you'll c> understand my setup.

I figured your request was quite uncomplicated, and therefore could not think of anything to expand on Scott's explanation. Just for curiosity, what purpose was there you were hoping the mails all marked as read? c> If I set up the filter to mark all messages as read, all of the c> messages route in to my local Inbox (the ones that were meant to be c> in the local TB list folder) and the normal Inbox messages also get c> marked as read. Maybe if you pasted your filter in reply, I could follow that. I just tested, and things do seem to work fine. If your messages from that folder go to your Inbox, then you must not have set the destination folder. Under the RULE tab, there are three fields to enter at the top: NAME SOURCE FOLDER MOVE MESSAGES TO FOLDER Under the last, be sure to select a folder. You can click on the Browse button at the right (has three micro folder icons). Your mail should go to that folder, and not Inbox. If it does not go to the folder which you select, then I would be mystified. If your other normal Inbox mails are being marked as read as well, then your filter does not seem to be working very well. Your filter should only capture mails from the folder you were targeting here. And so you should have a Signal string that occurs always and only with mails from that folder. Right? If it was this list, it would start with 'tbudl...'. Since you say messages were being marked as read, then the Action 'Mark messages as read' must be working successfully. c> That's why I was asking about the source folder. If c> it at all was configurable, I wouldn't had to ask here. The only thing you can't configure is the Source folder drop-down. -- Best regards, Adam ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
