It does support folders. You can still do the sorting in Seamonkey and the results will be available to any other clients you use, but only if you run Seamonkey first. The alternative is to do the sorting when the mail is downloaded, using something like procmail. Then you mails will be sorted regardless of the client you use. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 012: Window closed - Do not look inside
