The way to do this is to create a new. seperate folder where
you move all read mail to. This can be done through
filtering: if you look at your filtering options, you'll see
a "Read messages" filter that you can set.
You would for instance create a "read" filter for your TB
filter, create a folder called TB-archive, and instruct the
filter to move all read messages to that folder. That way,
your incoming TB flder would only contain new messages.
On a perhaps important sidenote: you seem to know a lot
about Netscape and to have tuned it according to your needs.
To achive such a fine-tuing takes time. Don't expect TB to
readily present you with the knowledge that you yourself
have amassed in the course of a few years..
Only a month ago, I started using TB, attampting to switch
from Eudor). At first, I was *terribly* aggravated by
everything that I missed (the moderators still remember me
from that period ;-)), or by what I thought were cumbersome
ways of achieving within TB which was readily available from
within Eudora. By now, I am quite at ease with TB and its
ways feel as "natural" as Eudora once felt.
And the main achievement is TB's filtering capacities.
With those, you can do as much *and more* than within
Eudora and Netscape - but you need to allow yourself some
time to familiarize yourself with them.
