Pete, Thanks for the explanation, given that I only have 1 POP3 account I will just treat "On this computer" as that account. I may redo the account as IMAP like it was originally as I am not sure why I selected the POP3 version when I switched to Linux. Particularly as the filtering idea sounds a bit complex.
