I find it useful (for myself) to have all Sent mails in the Sent folder, with copies in a few folders where I have ongoing correspondence with an individual. I frequently reply from the Inbox to individuals or corporations that I'm in touch with only rarely. I prefer to have the Reply in the Sent folder and then manually move both message and reply to the appropriate folder. TB! is working extremely well for my purposes just as it is. I can't praise the New Filter System enough from my own point of view. But I'm a bit more of a hands-on person than most. Even with the rare occurrence of 750 mails on the Message Dispatcher, I still look at each one-by-one before downloading. And I truly do not enjoy "threading." I store all my messages chronologically, sorted by "none." I don't have to filter against Spam, since (knock on wood) I am offered no Spam at present. Well--there I go again, wandering. I've touched on three separate aspects of The Bat! Still, tangentially, all fit the subject line, so please forgive me. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.0.2.10 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

This would improve usability. -- Cheers, Thomas. Sex is hereditary. If your parents never had it, chances are you won't either.

With a Virtual Folder. :-) You only need two conditions in the filter for the VF: .- | "sender is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" | OR "recipient is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" `- Include the folders where the messages from your friend arrive normally (Inbox Known, or whatever...) and don't forget the Sent Mail folder in the watchlist of the VF - done. You have all messages from and two your friend right at hand in the VF. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) The known is finite, the unknown infinite.

In your Account/Sorting Office-Filters/file drop-down-menu, choose Create a new Filter, while the focus is on Outgoing. Name the filter (for example) A. Put Recipient (get recipient from the scroll menu) contains (for example) A. From the Action Tab, choose "Move the message to a folder" and click the box that says "Add." Choose the folder you want from the tree that appears. Then click "OK." Your sent message will then be stored in your folder for "A" and not in your "Sent" folder.
