Hello Chip and all, Folder filtering is a wonderful thing and is something I do as I'm on many lists. This filtering is also useful if you have more than one E-mail account which I do.
Have never tried filtering by conversation. Karyn Campbell, Illinois USA, [email protected] Using WE 7.5.2 on Toshiba laptop running Vista home premium SP 1 32 bit with Office 2007 and IE 8 along with Asus netbook running XP home 32 bit with Office 2007 and IE 7 with Microsoft Security Essentials on both machines.

This is especially nice for those who don't have time to constantly read the list, as you can come back some time later, and decide to read all the replies at once for a given conversation, or press the delete key just once and not have to read any of them. It really helps counter the argument that we'd be overwhelmed by messages, as it makes deleting many messages at once so easy. But it's not really possible unless you filter these messages into their own folder first, as you likely won't want your inbox done this way.
