Apparently yours is different. It would be nice if evolution would allow variations. I am a scientist. I deal with most emails when they arrive, but some contain material I need to read later. I leave them in my Inbox to remind me of their existence. (Not a lot, maybe 50 more than a year old.) When I deal with any email, I want to move it to a subfolder of the folder for the year when it arrived--usually the current year. All I am asking for is that when I select a named folder by typing a few letters, by default the dialog should always pick the one for the current year when there are duplicates, unless I scroll to and click on a different one. As I said in my original posting, the default top-level folder could be the last one used or the newest one or any other simple-to-program choice. Actually better for me would be to have it be a preferences item, so the dialog would go back to the one for the current year on those rare occasions when I save in an old one before the current one. I think this might be a reasonable option for other people who might move emails to places in some tree that fits their work style, whatever that might be, by years or something else. Please note, I am not asking the program to do anything specific to my situation other than to avoid moving mails to the wrong place when there are duplicate names in a tree and a name is selected by typing letters rather than scrolling. I think this might be a problem for others users as well. I do use filters for certain categories of low-priority emails. I do not ever want unread ones not in those categories to be moved automatically out of my inbox. I think that is what you are suggesting. Not right for me. George Reeke
