There's also the issue of performance. I've used filters as described here and they're not that efficient. I used them to deal with the occasional one or so message that may come in. However, I've wondered what the performance would be like with messages from a busy list. I agree that X-Ray seems to be the better option. For us IMAP users, it's not so simple. Thankfully, I can do this server side upon receipt of messages. -- -= Allie =- ..... 1200 bps used to seem so fast __________________________________________________ Using The Bat!™ v3.0.2.5 for IMAP mail IMAP Server: MDaemon Pro | OS: Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2) ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
