Probably why I don't know about it. I've maybe used one of those for a very
short time, and went back to what I was using before. This sounds like the way
that gmail does "folders" They "label" mail and you view the "folders" that
are arranged by "labels". Then you can set up "filters" that label the mail as
it comes in. Maybe only the INBOX is a real folder.
I do essentially the same thing on my mailserver, except the folders are
"real" they exist on the server and sieve moves the mail into those
directories.
I hate the designation of "folder" btw, the proper name is directory. Folder
is a Windows euphemism. There are no "folders" on my computers, all my folders
are over in the file cabinet, where they belong.
