Hm. I just decided to play around with the virtual folder feature - admittedly without in-depth-knowledge of the concept.
I created a common virtual folder and instructed it to collect all my unreplied mail which goes to a certain account. I also set it to monitor my existing folders for unreplied messages to that account. I opened the folder and found that it did indeed contain all unreplied messages addressed to the account in question. Just fine. Now I wanted to empty the folder, because I intended to use it for new unreplied messages rather than for my old ones. I was cautious enough to backup my folders before trying. And that proved to be very wise. Having emptied the virtual folder (using the context menu command in the virtual folder view, in which no other folders where displayed), I found that all messages which had been collected by the virtual folder had in fact been deleted from the existing non-virtual folders. They were still present in the virtual folder though. What did I do wrong? I would have expected that the virtual folder contains only links to the messages which it collects, and I wanted to delete these links in the virtual folder rather than real messages in my existing folders. should I have used another command to achieve this - and if so, which one? Thanks and kind regards, Anselm ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
