Yes, you're pushing it. ;-) You need to create a filter that looks for filtering strings and then tell it what to do with a message that matches the condition: move the message to folder ABC. If you don't have the folder when you program the filter, the folder will be created. That's as far as automatic folder creation goes. What you want is this: IF FOUND(message CONTAINING list_header) AND UNKOWN(list_header) Folder = new FOLDER(list_header) // create new folder Filter = new FILTER(list_header, Folder) // create new move-to filter Filter(message CONTAINING list_header, Folder) // execute filter ENDIF Alas, this can't be done. -- Cheers, Thomas.
