I should add the filter places the messages in the common folder. Intuitively it make sense to use common folders when the source of the messages are from more than one email account without regard to whether the folder is just a virtual folder (VF) or just plain common folder. If the filter is just one email account, then it makes sense to move the VF into the email account structure from which the messages originate. This same logic can be applied to a plain common folder. For example using a spam filtering tool such as Popfile which creates an additional header and tags as spam, you could have a filter in each email account to filter on the spam header and place spam messages in a common folder which is not associated with any email account. Later you can review only the one folder to determine if any false positives occur. Remember a common VF is merely pointers to messages in other regular folders, whereas a common folder has the actual messages which were filtered into the common folder from filters within each email account. -- Best Regards, Greg Strong Using The Bat! v2.10.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
