Thanks for the reply

So yes .. im using gmail and its an imap account

Since you are saying i need to organize it myself does that mean i have to use the programs you said below ?

1. Porocmail

2. Mailfilter program

3. mapfilter and sieve

.. Do you have actual suggestions or do you have a link website that has examples on how to do this ?

Thanks
Josef
