Accessing the mailing list

Thunderbird is up and running, and this message is written using Tbird on my Mac. Although I don't think it will be the program I finally settle on.

I want the opposite of incoming mail filters. I want outgoing mail
filters that
will place outgoing email into specific folders, not the sent folder.

Thunderbird is able to put all mail you send into a folder other than
your 'sent' folder. The option is found in the copies and folders
section of the account settings dialog.

Once in a distinct folder the filters can be manually run to 'file' them
into other folders based on the criteria you set.

Thank you Simon!!!

There is also an option to place replies to messages in the folders of the message being replied to. That will accomplish what I and Marc want to be done automatically *assuming* you have an incoming filter to put the message in a designated folder.

Except in one case, that being where the writer initiates an exchange with a user. There is no message to reply to so you will have to many.

I also note that Thunderbird has an add-on called 'Send Filter' that is
described as an add-on that "allows you run your message filters
automatically on outgoing messages after sending. In other words, it's
an outgoing filter for thunderbird and seamonkey."

Since Marc mentioned the bug in the filter before I actually installed and tried it, I'm glad I didn't install it. :slight_smile: Isn't there some way the add-on can be removed from the list of add-ons until it's fixed?

Just an fyi...

Thunderbird 3.3 will be incorporating a 'conversations' view that will
automatically show you all messages in the conversation, including ones
you sent... without having to physically move the messages around...

Then there is the the 'Virtual Folders' that the current version (3.1.7)
of Thunderbird supports... it can give you something similar, but only
for pre-defined people/addresses you set up...

The conversations view would be excellent!!!! My preferences, though, would be to have all the message in a single folder to make it easier to save all messages externally to a file.

After a whopping one hour of poking around in Tbird, I hadn't discovered this.

Why I probably won't use Tbird in the end is too far off this topic to make some readers happy, and I don't know where to go to post about that if anyone were to be interested. :frowning:

Post it on the TBird official forums. Someone will pick up on it and hopefully will use the info to improve it.

The reasons, at this point, are more personal than anything else.

Rather like the fact that all cars will get you to where you want to go, but which car do I want to buy? :slight_smile:

Hi :slight_smile:
The Thunderbird forums are inside the Mozzilla Forums so registering at the one
site, Mozzilla, gives you access to their support system for several products.
Even their Seamonkey support receives slightly separate there. I had to sign
up for slightly different reasons.
