For what it's worth, you asked the question I was hoping someone would
ask, particularly of those who had been beta testing this version. I
knew in theory what a virtual folder was, because of my experience
with the Mail Ticker, but I wasn't clear about how I might use them.
Thanks to your post and the few replies it got, I've now created one
of my own -- for "reply needed" messages.
Here's what I did, in case it might prove useful to you. I created the
new folder and filtered for the color I've assigned to those messages
to which I want to reply later. Then I chose to have it run against
all folders.
The part I didn't get initially was that when you choose filter and
then BLOCK, you are prompted with SENDER and then a small white square
out to the side. Since that wasn't what I wanted, it didn't seem too
helpful. However I eventually discovered that if you click on SENDER
you'll see UNDER IT the various other things you can use to filter on.
In my case, I chose "colour." I then set it to the color for "reply
needed" messages and that did the trick.
So there is one use of the virtual folder. I'd hope others would
describe how they are using this feature as I just might want to copy
their example. That's the way I've learned many of the things I use
in TB.
