Re[2]: automatically archiving the Inbox

C Now, every time you purge your folders, the messages will be moved. Under Options - Preferences, I configured The Bat! to automatically C purge folders on exit. Thanks, I would have never guessed this behavior in a million years. However, does this mean that if I purge a folder other than my Inbox, its messages will go to the same folder I am using for my Inbox archive? I am asking because I don't see anything in Account Properties/Deletion that specifies that this behavior is for Inbox only. -- Regards, Mike F Mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

In that case, I am going to stick with manual filtering. Setting up all of those overrides is too much work for me. Thanks Chris for explaining all of this. C I was thinks of putting in a feature request regarding this. The C deletion settings under the account properties would be the default C for every folder. However, each folder (including the Inbox) could C have its own settings. At the top of the tab within the folder's C properties, there could be a checkbox that says something along the C lines of Define folder-specific settings that would enable custom C deletion settings for that folder. This interface would be similar to C setting up address book templates. C Thoughts? I think hooking archive functionality into alternative deletion and purging is very cryptic. I think there should be a clearly named Archive property at the folder level. There could also be an Archive property at the account level but I wouldn't have any use for it. -- Regards, Mike F Mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
