Those are my hopes as well, Erik, but I just want to avoid any caveats where I inadvertently fail to mirror the filtering rules on both sites.

Mike, I don't see a problem with this, in fact, isn't it the entire point of 
IMap?  I mean, if it were going to be a problem moving your mail around with 
message filters, then what about deleting a message.  Wouldn't that cause a 
hassel, since you're essentially moving it from the inbox to your trash folder?

I say go for it.

Hello everyone,

At present, I regularly use two different computers for checking my mail.  One 
of these is my PC running Windows 7, using Thunderbird and the other is my Mac 
where I Have Snow Leopard installed.  I use the mail client that is a part of 
SL.

Right now, whenever I check mail on the PC, messages are automatically placed 
in folders that I have set up.  Whenever I then go to the Mac, these messages 
are also in their respective folders.  The problem arises, however, when any 
new messages arrive in my inbox while using the Mac.  They are not placed in 
their designated folders.  The reason for this is simple: I haven't set up any 
filters on the Mac side of the equation.  I was recently told that it would be 
best to only have one computer do all the filtering.  However, I am using my 
Mac more and more, and I'd like to be able to have the mail program on the Mac 
automatically place messages in the right folders.  So my question is this: If 
I am really careful about setting up filters on the Mac, making sure that both 
systems use precisely the same filtering criteria, should there be any problems 
having the Mac do the message filtering when I use it and having the PC do the 
message filtering whenever I use it?

I was told that tidbits.com would soon be releasing a Take Control publication 
for the Mac mail program.  I am looking forward to purchasing it and hoping 
that it will address issues such as this one.

My best to all,

Mike
