Do tags have to be mapped to IMAP keywords? Mapping them to existing IMAP keywords causes every message using that keyword to be given the tag. For me this is not a desired result. Deleting a tag doesn't seem to totally work. I created a tag called "Billable" and initially mapped it to $hasTD, which was the only IMAP keyword which seemed to make sense for it. I then created a smart mailbox that would show messages with the Billable tag. Then I discovered that every message with $hasTD got tagged with Billable and was displayed in the smart mailbox. I first attempted to unmap the tag, leaving the IMAP keyword field blank. This didn't change anything. Then I attempted to delete the tag and this caused MM to crash. On reopening MM I was able to successfully delete the tag and I thought the smart mailbox would now be empty. But all the messages remained displayed in the smart mailbox, which indicates that the smart mailbox was not using my tag, but using the IMAP keyword. So are tags just a way to render IMAP keywords useable (or not so useable in my case)? -- David Vereschagin Quadrat Communications <http://www.quadrat.com/> 416-537-4936
