Hello!
FPNC It would be great to be able to have a text file with this format:
FPNC T [EMAIL PROTECTED] \\Fernando\News\NYTimes
Here is a different solution to you problem. Why not have an address book
entry with the destination folder to place incoming mails for this
address or address (some people use more then one email address)
Mmm... I've looked at address book and I cannot find anything about
making a connection between an entry and a folder...
Or maybe you meant this:
quick filters... You could therefore filter al you friends in one
folder (You can filter on presence in a certain address book to a
specific folder.) and when you need to look up an email from them use
the quick filtering.
I could do that but, if you have 20 people in one folder, you must
locate one of the emails of the friend you're looking for, and then
alt-click on the from... I find that it is more comfortable - at
least, for me - to have a lot of folders with each email in its own
place...
BTW, I forgot to mention another line in my config file:
If I sent anything to [EMAIL PROTECTED] put a copy of the email in
the folder someone.
I mean, ST [EMAIL PROTECTED] \\Fernando\People\Somebody
This way you can have the logical threads (you know, I said, you said,
then I said, then you said)... w/o problems...
Of course I could implement it using address book. But using a common
folder for n people is not useful for my mind, and creating a filter
for each address entry is not better than my current solution.
I'm asking for this because I think a file in this format:
* is quite simple to handle,
* it could be shared w/other tools - so, for instance, I can create a
tool to provide a nice GUI to edit/sort/print it
* and it is very simple to update it - easier than the filter screen,
which you cannot resize :( and believe me, with hundreds of filters,
you want them to be sorted in some way - just to check that you
haven't duplicates or missed anyone - and it is very difficult to
achieve this if each filter you add goes to the end, and then you have
to scroll 5-10 times to place each one in their logical group. I know
that, using my system, the place of them is meaningless, but - do you
remember if you have the filter for this or that list?
And lastly, using this system is cleaner for the filter screen: you
have 300+ rules in one filter, and you can focus all your attention in
special rules (at least, they seems special for me)...
I hope I never get so many folders :(
Well, maybe I'm quite strange - sure ;) - but I'm used to this way of
thinking/archiving emails (more than 35,000 and counting up) and I'm
subscribed to more than 100 mail lists, so I have 100 filters to be
set up for sure...
And before you ask: No, I don't read every email I receive. So why do
I want so many messages? CTRL+F ;)
Best regards,
Fernando Nájera
