Here's a simple improvement. Create a new email user and symlink just those folders you want to see into it. That way you don't need 2 instances just two different users and you use one on mobile the other elsewhere ;) Using virtual folders could be helpful as well. I have a New mails one which shows me all new emails in all folders which helps in a lot of places. -- Andraž 'ruskie' Levstik Source Mage GNU/Linux Games/Xorg grimoire guru Re-Alpine Coordinator http://sourceforge.net/projects/re-alpine/ Geek/Hacker/Tinker Knowledge is important, knowledge you know is priceless.
