Actually I am just exploring how I can use tags expedient to simplify my workflow. I am used to store messages in different mailboxes with most of the time even more sub mailboxes like: mailbox: client sub mailbox: project a sub mailbox: project b sub mailbox: task a sub mailbox: ? etc. This works quite well with the shortcuts to move messages (file them) to the specific folders. However, it has two drawbacks: (1) messages related to more than one topic can only be stored in one folder or need to be multiplied. (2) I need a further smart mailbox (or do a search) when I want to see all messages related to one client ordered by date or whatever? The idea is to store all messages related to one client in one mailbox but to distinguish the messages by tags. That will allow me to use smart mailboxes to distinguish messages by projects, task or what ever using tags. I hope at some indefinite future date Benny will implement a filter function that would allow me to file messages by tags. In addition I hope that my database to store old messages (EagleFiler) will be able to read these tags so that I could search them inside my database. Does that make sense? Regards, Thomas
