If you create a link to a file on your Desktop, you have this little arrow at the lower left-hand corner. This means that the file itself doesn't exist on the desktop, but only a reference which "points" to the actual file. You can have many such links/references to the same file. If the reference points to a location that is outside of your computer somehwere on the internet, we call it a URL. So, if you receive an HTML mail with a picture and that pic is not sent with the mail, an AREF tag will point to where it actually is. (And TB will show the famous red X.) It is the same with Virtual Folders. The messages are not actually sent to the results list, but only links/pointers/references to the messages are kept. When you filter with the Sorting Office, the messages themselves are moved into the target folders. That's the difference between "nortmal" and virtual folders. - The tag line is random. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. 8.
