Most of my folders - except for the Sent Mail folder and a few other odds and ends - have been given a default view mode that I had setup (basically removed some of the columns the Bat shows by default and sorts by received time). I know I could just go in and assign the 'sorted by from' view mode to the folders I go into, but I use the tabs as a temporary way to change the folder view. I see the view modes as a permanent thing. So for example, my inbox and saved folders are normally sorted by received time with the view mode. Now, say I wanted to look for a particular person (sender) in the inbox and then do the same for saved - but only as a temporary measure, after I had found the message I was looking for, I would want to return the view to the default I had set. What I would do is to click on the 'sorted by from' tab in the inbox, which would temporarily sort the messages by from. I would then find the message. However, when I then click on the saved folder, despite the 'sorted by from' tab being the active one, the default view mode is what is used (sorted by received time), meaning I have to click on the All tab and then click again on the 'sorted by from' tab. But yeah - if I wanted the messages to be permanently changed, I'd use a view mode. From what I understand though, the tabs are to be used for temporary changes, and that is all I ever want when I use one. -- Regards, Mr Happy ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
