Hi all, I've done a quick search, but nothing jumped out at me. At the moment, if there are unread messages in a folder, that folder name is shown in bold, which is handy. What I would like is to also highlight the folder somehow if the folder contains tagged messages - so for example if I've

Hi all, Tipped off by a comment on here, and confirmed I think by reading the manpage, it seems I should be able to set multiple addresses on an interface by using multiple iface stanzas for the same interface in /etc/network/interfaces. So I have something like this: iface ens3 inet static
