Well, this should pose no problem. You can do this with filters, server-side or local. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I tried the configuration once more of the IMAP interface (actually this is my 3rd time that i am configuring since i deleted the account on previous two occasions as i did not understand the settings and working out of the IMAP). works fine now. just to double check with you, 1. once the mail is moved from the IN box and this IN box folder is purged (Folder ----> purge+compress), the messages are automatically deleted from the server. 2. tried a filter. once received in the IN box it does not get filtered. but after some time when manual filtering is done, it works fine. how can i solve this problem? could it be configured to automatically go into the filter folder when the message appears in the In box itself (like the POP interface)? my situation is that i dont delete any mail, but move them to the back up X (IN) and Y (SENT) folders respectively whilst others are automatically moved into the filter folders. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >>The beauty of IMAP is that if you need your mail from another computer >>or via webmail, all your mail (also old mail) is there, in the folders >>you have created for it. > This is very important especially during after office hours or during > a week end.

Well, you can have folders on the server in which you can store you mail. When you have fully synchronized them (so the full message is local), you can move them to a local folder freeing up space on the server. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ i do not wish to have folders on the server but i have instead set to view full messages which means, i guess, is that the entire message is down loaded and ofcourse later on i move them to the X folder at the end of the day. in the manage IMAP folders (account-->imap commands-->manage imap folders) where you set the IN box to synchronize (this option is selected), i have accidentally deleted the sub-folders coming under the INBOX which is OUT, SENT and TRASH. will this cause a problem? since the IN box synchronization is selected under ALL MESSAGES, it is only this box that works with the server directly, right? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > do i have to move the messages from IN box to X > box and then run the filters from here? You can have filters moving messages from the inbox to any folder (local or server-side). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ as said previously, i triggered one filter to check with IMAP but it is not automatically moved into filtered folder but only after sometime that when manually done, it is moved. what may be the reason for this? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ will be pleased to hear from you and thank you in advance for same. -- best regards rizvi ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
