Hello! > FPNC> It would be great to be able to have a text file with this format: > FPNC> T [EMAIL PROTECTED] \\Fernando\News\NYTimes
> Here is a different solution to you problem. Why not have an address book > entry with the destination folder to place incoming mails for this > address or address (some people use more then one email address) Mmm... I've looked at address book and I cannot find anything about making a connection between an entry and a folder... Or maybe you meant this: > quick filters... You could therefore filter al you friends in one > folder (You can filter on presence in a certain address book to a > specific folder.) and when you need to look up an email from them use > the quick filtering. I could do that but, if you have 20 people in one folder, you must locate one of the emails of the friend you're looking for, and then alt-click on the from... I find that it is more comfortable - at least, for me - to have a lot of folders with each email in its own place... BTW, I forgot to mention another line in my config file: "If I sent anything to [EMAIL PROTECTED] put a copy of the email in the folder someone." I mean, "ST [EMAIL PROTECTED] \\Fernando\People\Somebody" This way you can have the logical threads (you know, I said, you said, then I said, then you said)... w/o problems... Of course I could implement it using address book. But using a common folder for n people is not useful for my mind, and creating a filter for each address entry is not better than my current solution. I'm asking for this because I think a file in this format: * is quite simple to handle, * it could be shared w/other tools - so, for instance, I can create a tool to provide a nice GUI to edit/sort/print it * and it is very simple to update it - easier than the filter screen, which you cannot resize :( and believe me, with hundreds of filters, you want them to be sorted in some way - just to check that you haven't duplicates or missed anyone - and it is very difficult to achieve this if each filter you add goes to the end, and then you have to scroll 5-10 times to place each one in their logical group. I know that, using my system, the place of them is meaningless, but - do you remember if you have the filter for this or that list? And lastly, using this system is cleaner for the filter screen: you have 300+ rules in one filter, and you can focus all your attention in "special rules" (at least, they seems special for me)... > I hope I never get so many folders :( Well, maybe I'm quite strange - sure ;) - but I'm used to this way of thinking/archiving emails (more than 35,000 and counting up) and I'm subscribed to more than 100 mail lists, so I have 100 filters to be set up for sure... And before you ask: No, I don't read every email I receive. So why do I want so many messages?
