How exactly do messages get into folders in your other email client? Magic? ;) You have to do something to make that happen. The same is true in Gmail. I'll say it again: Use filters. > An option to > change the inbox view to one with all labeled emails hidden could be a > solution. If messages were labeled and archived as they came in (as they very easily can be), you don't need this option. You're suggesting a feature that creates a band-aid to a problem that has already been solved. 1. Click "Create a filter" 2. Enter your criteria (e.g. "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]") and click Next 3. Choose "Skip the Inbox" and "Label as: <yourLabel>" 4. Click "Create filter" (or "OK" or whatever it says) Now, whenever a mesage comes in that meets the criteria, it skips the inbox and appears as unread under the label you specified. It's *exactly* like filtering incoming email into folders. There's absolutely no difference. I can't help you with the hierarchy issue (and I disagree that hierarchies are a better way to organize things), but this should help you with filtering. -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
