Hello Mary and everyone else who responded to my initial Q about
setting up a "super" inbox that would hold all the inbox mail of
several different e-mail accounts. Clearly this can be accomplished
with both common as well as virtual folders. But, not for those among
us tenaciously holding on to ver. 1.62r. Those of us living in the
past must settle for the "common" folder. However, for my purposes, a
"virtual" folder would have been the way to go as it would insure that
replies would reflect the account that received the message to which I
would be replying. It also would avoid adding unnecessary bytes of
data to be stored to the pc's hard drive. I was all set to upgrade in
order to get some virtual folders, until Mary wrote (at 7:56 a.m. on
Monday, August 1):

Ok. That didn't phase me. But then, she wrote:

That phased me.  I have dozens of folders into which mail is being
sorted. The thought of spending time rekeying all those filters gives
me pause. I will have to upgrade, but not at the moment as I just
don't have the time to do all that rekeying.

Once again, thanks to everyone for your suggestions and input.
