They are folders that contain links to messages. The messages aren't really in there but you can manipulate them as if they were. DH> The question is, how are the messages to be included selected? Two ways. Using the search tool you can save a search as a vf. Or you can create vf and then define a filter for it.

You can create virtual folders that look for flagged messages or parked ones or those that belong to a certain colour group. The moment you mark them they will appear in the vf. The only thing I use virtual folders for is mails I want to reply to. I just flag them when I think I want to do that. -- Cheers, Andre :andre: "The government of the people, by the people, for the people." ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
