This may not directly answer your question, but I think will provide a solution. Let gmail do your filtering. Don't use the client (whether evo or tbird) to filter gmail. Gmail's folders are really virtual based on labels. It handles filtering more efficiently and in a way that is compatible with their virtual nature than the client. It will also save you bandwidth. Also, be aware that a mail item in gmail can have multiple labels, and therefore, appear in multiple folders. Unless in trash or junk, they also appear in All Mail. Keep this in mind when choosing whether to copy or move a message. -- Art Alexion Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Philadelphia, PA 19144 www.rhd.org
