I guess you filter on strings other than addresses because if you wish to use the filter for outgoing and incoming so that messages you reply to are placed in the source folder, then for each filter you'd have to switch the string search source from sender to recipient, wouldn't you? > Can anybody enlighten me about the advantages of the NFS? - from the same panel you can access the filters for all accounts. This is similar to how the quick templates panel works. We now need the same thing for the Account configuration panel. - the filter setup layout is a lot nicer so that you now have a much better visual appreciation of the creation and building of filter string matching as well as how and in what order actions are applied. - Incoming IMAP filters, as well as read and replied filters, are no longer bound to particular folders when created. If a source folder isn't specified, then it will be auto-applied to all folders in the respective account. So there's no longer a need to replicate a filter that you wish to be applied to messages in multiple folders. - common filters are now supported. Here, you can create a filter that is applied potentially across all accounts or applied in particular accounts defined. Anti-spam filters would go well here. - sub-filters are now supported. In this way it's now possible to create a filter that is applied only to those messages caught by the sub-filters parent filter. This is not only more efficient processing, but is also easier at times to administer than simply using the 'continue processing with other filters' approach. That about sums it all up. The choice is now yours. To upgrade or not to upgrade. :) -- -= Allie =- The Bat!™ v3.0 · Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2) .....
