MDP Filters only change automatically when folders are moved *within* MDP an account, not to a completely different account. Wait a minute, I think I got this wrong the first time. So Carren is moving (dragging) the folders within TB into another account. The filters are being updated automatically over here. You know how often I switch accounts for this list for example, and I always just drag the TBUDL folder to the new account. I unsub from the old account after the messages arrive via the new account, so I have them twice in the same TBUDL folder for a while - and I did not change anything in the TBUDL filter of the old account and the messages matching the old account's TBUDL filter are sorted into the TBUDL which is now located in the new account. So, the filters are indeed updated even if you move the folders across accounts. Why it doesn't work on Carren's machine (nor yours?), I don't know. -- Cheers, Thomas.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Wednesday, October 02, 2002, Carren Stuart wrote... Here's what happened. When I moved the folders to another (but not a NEW account) and then checked the original filters for the account they had come from, the filters *had* altered BUT not entirely correctly. In the destination folder entry, TB! had automatically redirected the mail to the new account Inbox BUT that filter was only ever going to work for any stray changing of account mail (the few messages that would arrive to the old address before the unsubscription was activated), because the source folder remained as inbox for that account. So the source folder was staying the same and the destination was altering? This is what is supposed to happen, TB doesn't really know that you aren't just moving folders about. If you want to move the filters too, go into the filter dialog, select the one you want to copy over, and press CTRL C... then go into the other account's filter dialog, and press CTRL V. Now you have the same filter in both accounts. Is that the effect you're trying to achieve? - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 6.5.8ckt iQA/AwUBPZtEbiuD6BT4/R9zEQJcXQCgus522rLZkMYnL0OTKsZdwQXEFaoAoNy+ mGVtluAwCUFidCLpd/HgHRQY =v5uV -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Carren, On Thu, 3 Oct 2002 06:57:43 +1200 GMT (03/10/02, 01:57 +0700 GMT), Carren Stuart wrote: CS That filter was *not* duplicated/recreated or whatever in the new CS account, so therefore any messages coming to the new address would CS not have been filtered.

CS So, from what I can see, all TB! does in that situation is make an CS adjustment to cover any interim mail still arriving in the old CS account. It does not do *anything* within the new account. Correct again. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. Avoid cliches like the plague (They're old hat.)
