The nice thing about common folders is that you can create whatever folder hierarchy is useful. I'm afraid we have different ways of working. For me, folders integrate beautifully into the hierarchy; if fact, they *are* the hierarchy. I wouldn't miss it. The only common folder I have is for messages that I am storing for no particular purpose. Usually funnies that I thought are worth keeping (hence the name of that common folder: Keepers). However sender mail (new, reply, forward) needs to know what account to work under. FOr a common folder, it cannot know. Of course not. Hence the name common folder. But maybe it would make sense for you to add the %Account macro to your templates - maybe on AB level, if you communicate with any given addressee only from one account. -- Cheers, Thomas.

common folder -- associate with an account
Hello again, It is excellent to have Common Folders. They can be arranged however the user wants. The problem is that a common folder usually needs to have an Account (or as Eudora calls them, persona) associated with it. When replying to mail listed in the folder, or sending mail to people who have mail in that folder, it is important to have the correct account (From field) and message template used. It is possible to achieve this effect by specifying the new/reply/forward templates individually, for each common folder. However it would be vastly easier to be able to set a common folder to work as if it were under an Account. Then the common folder would inherit all of the necessary parameters, templates, etc. (The reason that is is not as good to have the folder physically under the account is that the users then loses the ability to arrange folders according to their needs.) How do folks feel about this suggestion? d/ -- Dave Crocker mailto:dhc2;dcrocker.net TribalWise http://www.tribalwise.com t +1.408.246.8253; f +1.408.850.1850 Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
