I guess the "new" up to date way is to archive all your old e-mail in one archive folder [empty in-box theory-- article in this months MacWorld]. I don't like it, I like the folder method such as you have. I'd like to have saved searches in Power Mail otherwise I'm happy with it. MacWorld doesn't like my other favorite programs either [Moneydance and Readerware, both Java and cross-platform]. I finally quite my MUG because they never liked my ideas of software. -- Barbara Needham ----
