No, while the Inbox is a dynamic folder, just like the Outbox - it's meant to be emptied (I never succeed completely, I'm always keeping a few dozen messages while I may want to reread them or to reply to them...). But the subfolders in my SM folder do have corresponding folders in the main account. For example, I have the folders tbudl and sent/tbudl. > PS> I've also made sub-folders in my Trash folder, > Certainly, different people have different ways of working. ;-) One of the reasons is that I get messages in several different languages, and I put them in different subfolders in the Trash folder, while I may use them as a database for looking up certain expressions in another language. Of course you can use Google for that, but sometimes an off-line database can also be useful. Another reason is that I sometimes calculate some statistics of the messages of a certain list (and then I need all the messages that have appeared on that list, not only the ones that I've kept in the folder for that list).
