Well, you can always 't'ag all the messages manually. Or then you can 'T'ag messages matching a pattern, for example '~f user' tags all messages from 'user' (see section 4.2. in the manual for more about patterns.) When you have tagged all the relevant messages, you just tag-save (;s) to another folder. And if you want all the previous done more automatically, define a macro (section 3.6.) to do all the work for you in a single keypress. Using folder-hooks and 'push'-command you might even get everything done automatically when you enter the folder. Personally I use procmail filtering on the IMAP server, but then again, I have shell access to it. Maybe you can do server-side filtering yourself, ask the admins. -- Tommi Komulainen Tommi.Komulainen@iki.fi GPG 1024D/68388EE6 6FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6
