Applying A Filter To 'Sent' Folder
Hi all, is it possible to apply a filter to the 'Sent' folder? What I'd like is the 'Sent' folder to have a number of sub-folders where I would like to place sent items depending on who I send them to. Is it possible to do this automatically with a filter? I tried applying a filter to the 'Outbox' in the hope that once a message left there, the filter would be applied and filtered to the required folder. Needless to say it was not successful.

It will work fine. You just need an Outgoing message filter. As long as the criteria of the filter are met, the message will be moved wherever you want it moved. Since this is absolutely possible and a TB fundamental, you must have done something wrong. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.11 Beta/6 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 ' pgpD50Fn9iafO.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Marck wherever you want it moved. Since this is absolutely possible and a TB fundamental, you must have done something wrong. Doesn't surprise me that I did something wrong. I couldn't see anything obvious so simply recreated the filter and it now works just fine, so I most likely had done something wrong but couldn't spot it. -- Cheers Marck Steve CMC Partnership (UK) Ltd The Bat version 2.10.03 Windows 2000 SP3 Build 2195 Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I was just answering the question asked, which was about local filters for local folders using the local outbox and local sent message folders. Nothing to do with IMAP there. I accept that IMAP has problems and wouldn't have attempted to answer any IMAP questions since I don't use the protocol myself :-). -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.11 Beta/6 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 ' pgpQmCUaXMcOW.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

How do you know the question was about local filters? I didn't get that from the original post. Although upon a few more re-readings, I would probably assume he is talking about a POP account. Also (and this is just for my own knowledge), when you say local filters does that only apply to POP? I would interpret local filters as filters that happen client-side (POP or IMAP) as opposed to server-side (IMAP only). Am I wrong about that? I accept that IMAP has problems and wouldn't have attempted to answer any IMAP questions since I don't use the protocol myself :-). I just got my laptop back in commission and will be trying out betas again, but as I posted earlier, 2.10.03 has been pretty good to me - using IMAP. I know there are still problems, but 2.10.03 is a *HUGE* improvement in usability, functionality and performance for me. I must admit that I don't do anything fancy right now - too scared to ;) I'm saving the tough stuff for my laptop, where I can afford multiple re-installs, etc. -- Ken Green Using The Bat! v2.10.03 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Well - to be a complete pedant about it, we're actually talking about client side SMTP.

Are you working with a server side Outbox or a local Outbox. I'm working with a local Outbox since a server side Outbox seems to be problematic. The only real reason for a server side Outbox is if you're in the habit of partially composing a message at one location and wish to complete the message you were composing on another machine at another location. I tend not to do this, so it doesn't really benefit me having a server side Outbox. Maybe you're in the same situation and can therefore do away with the buggy misery of using a server side Outbox. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.11 Beta/6 on WinXP Pro (SP1) pgpBtkExuO1Dt.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
