If I add any filter string, for example an email address or a key word, I won't have to go to all accounts. I would update only at one place.

Please explain how this should work. Let's say under Options I have a menu item "Global filters", and I create a filter there. What would it do? Could I except accounts from this filter or from all global filters, like I can with "check all"? > If you need anything other than this, then go the currently > implemented method of copying and pasting the filter to the accounts > which you wish the filter to be applied. This is what I am doing, and it is troublesome to have to add the same address as an alternative filter string to several filters across various accounts. -- Cheers, Thomas.
