Thanks, everyone for your advice about setting up multiple accounts with the "same name." I now understand I can just use a name like [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a user name, and not just "achdut." Elementary to those who understand the ins and outs of the software--but it wasn't to me.
However, others have raised some questions about the filtering. Alexander wrote: > If you want to use both the new and the old account, you have to copy the > existing filters to the new account.

And, indeed, I want to keep the same filters, but don't want two folders for say, "The Bat" mail. There should be only one TBUDL folder with mail from both the old and new accounts that is TBUDL mail going into one and the same folder during the period of overlapping accounts. However, MFPA suggests that if I filter mail coming in to the new account into the old folders, replies to mail that comes in through the new account server will appear to come from the old account. MFPA says, > 1. set up new account with filers and folders that mirror those in > the existing account. > > 2. create a set of virtual folders that mirrors the folder system > in the accounts.

Unfortunately, I don't understand steps two and three. How does one set up a "virtual folder" and how will it look on the folder tree? -- Avi Avram Sacks using The Bat ver. 1.62r on XP professional (but not when I'm writing from the office, where Lotus Notes reign) ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.5.25 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
