OK tried two things -- 33% success. Instead of right-clicking the vsubfolder and selecting Rename, I selected Properties. I renamed the rule, "law.com_pa. The "pa" vsubfolder disappeared and the vfolder "law.com_pa" appeared at the expected hierarchy level. But "law.com" remained. When I "opened" it, the list and preview panes were replaced with a gray area and the text, "This folder cannot contain messages." I tried deleting the useless folder, got the delete confirmation, but it persists. (Batting .500/50% success). Now I try _using_ the "feature" to my advantage. I try to rename a vfolder holding mail to and from a client named "Lisa" (not her full name <g>) to Clients/Lisa. I get the error, "Can't use "/" in folder names. Fine. Now I select properties and rename the rule from "Lisa" to "Clients/Lisa". No complaints/errors. "Lisa" disappears, but vfolder "Clients" with vsubfolder "Lisa" does not. Uh-oh. (now batting .333/33%) I rescue the data by choosing "Virtual Folder Editor" from the "Tools" menu. The rule "Clients/Lisa" is there. The "Edit" button brings up the "Properties" editor, and I can rename the rule back to just "Lisa". She reappears (.333 success rate maintained) Comments? -- Arthur S.
