I did not tell it's the only, nor the best. The reason I say it's not the same is that you don't have to set it up yourself for each conversation. BTW, there's also the issue of folder ordering, which has been brought up several times, e.g. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202257 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234539. This is relevant for making Search Folders (conversation-based or not) more usable. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
