Of course not, but that wasn't what you were asking. You asked about groups of filters. Or to say it differently: You merely asked whether you could create two groups of 45 filters each. What you're asking now is whether you can filter a lot of addresses each to their own folder with a single filter and that answer is: 'Yes' Create an AB group 'filter contacts' and add those 45 people to it. It doesn't matter whether you've got them in different AB group too. Create a filter that checks whether the sender belongs to 'filter contacts' Now you've got two choices, either you want all of them moved to the same folder or you want to move each message to a folder matching your contact. The first case is rather straightforward, the second case needs a macro. I tested it with a single address (didn't want to mess up my filtering system) I added a 'phone number' to an address book entry (I used the rather random letters lcs) and the action for my filter was to move the message \\Roelof\%ABFromPhone (With roelof being the account name) I re-filtered the folder and all messages from that contact were filtered to \\Roelof\lcs Apart from %ABFromPhone you can use any address book macro, like %ABFromE-mail, I just used the Phone entry, because I don't use that and I wouldn't like folder names with email addresses, but YMMV. Of course you'll still need two filters for this to function properly, one incoming filter and one outgoing filter, note that you'd need something like %ABToPhone for the outgoing filter. And before I forget it, you'll need to check 'create if necessary' with the move to action. Also when you don't use something that you've been using in your address book (like %ABFromPhone in stead of %ABFromName) you need to enter that field for all of the contacts you want to sort this way. Confused? Me too. -- Groetjes, Roelof ERROR: 001 Windows loaded.
