Thinking about it logically though, why have that if AC you've already got a Sender filter? Well, you asked about VF-filtering on something in a msg (header). At the moment, I don't understand what you mean with 'Sender filer' Sorry, that was a rhetorical question based on my (false) assumption that Message Source is where the message originated. If that was the case, it would be redundant because there is an option to filter on Sender. Your previous reply answered my query perfectly - many thanks.

Re: Vitual Folders
Hi Adam, Friday, April 16, 2004, 7:56:15 PM, you wrote: AC what are virtual folders, and how can I use them to enrich my life? For what it's worth, you asked the question I was hoping someone would ask, particularly of those who had been beta testing this version. I knew in theory what a virtual folder was, because of my experience with the Mail Ticker, but I wasn't clear about how I might use them. Thanks to your post and the few replies it got, I've now created one of my own -- for reply needed messages. Here's what I did, in case it might prove useful to you. I created the new folder and filtered for the color I've assigned to those messages to which I want to reply later. Then I chose to have it run against all folders. The part I didn't get initially was that when you choose filter and then BLOCK, you are prompted with SENDER and then a small white square out to the side. Since that wasn't what I wanted, it didn't seem too helpful. However I eventually discovered that if you click on SENDER you'll see UNDER IT the various other things you can use to filter on. In my case, I chose colour. I then set it to the color for reply needed messages and that did the trick. So there is one use of the virtual folder. I'd hope others would describe how they are using this feature as I just might want to copy their example. That's the way I've learned many of the things I use in TB. -- Regards, Perry Using The Bat! v2.10 on Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000 Those of us who protest find ourselves trying to explain what can be to those who can only understand what was. -- Bob Frankston Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Marten, Saturday, April 17, 2004, 5:05:54 PM, you wrote: MG Do I take it, then, that this 'virtual folder' holds a MG 'pseduo-duplicate' of a message marked in some way (colour e.g) and MG that you can treat it as the real message and the effect is as if MG you were doing it to the actual message? That's correct, at least as I understand it. You can group messages into the virtual folder by any filter you choose. They'll appear there, though they will remain actually stored in the folder where they resided previously, as they do when displayed in the Mail Ticker folder. -- Regards, Perry Using The Bat! v2.10 on Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000 Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Vitual Folders
Hello Adam, erm... forgive me if I seem ignorant, but what are virtual folders, and how can I use them to enrich my life? I use VFs in different ways, one of them has been already explained by Perry Nelson. That is, to show messages pending a reply from me. I also use VFs to see some threads. I usually sort messages to Contact specific folders (i.e. messages To and From Joe Smith get sorted in the same folder). Now, there are times that a third or fourth person (initially in CC) does reply to me or Joe's message and the 'conversation' is the between 3 or 4 or even more persons. But because of sorting, the messages end up in several different folders. So, I have created a Thread VF looking for a certain Subject and this way I can see the whole thread no matter in which folder the messages are actually stored. If I want to see a different thread I just have to change the Subject the VF is looking for. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

One thing that seems to be missing in the filters for virtual folders is you can't filter on a string. I use POPFile to classify my mail and after it was explained what virtual folders are (thanks all those who replied) I thought I could set-up a VF for each of POPFile's buckets. When I started looking into it I realized that you can't filter on POPFile's classification header. I know I could work around this, for example assigning a colour group to each bucket and filtering on that or by using POPFile's subject modification facility. I think, however, that being able to search for a string in any of the headers or the body would be useful. -- Adam C Using The Bat! v2.10 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

In the virtual folder properties, go to the Filter tab and enable the option switch 'Use Filter'. A new set of options appear where you can filter on a string. The little tiny arrow beside each item indicates that a drop down menu is there so that you can choose from different things that would best suite your filtering. You can add as many filtering strings as you like, using AND/OR etc. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.10 on WinXP Pro (SP1) pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
