    AA> Hmm.. First of all, I don't put quotes around my name like you do.    
      
   According to the context-sensitive help , a full name or phrase has to be   
   enclosed in quotes.   
      
    AA> Then, I see that you "Selected" NETMAIL, but you ticked "Don't

   Why would I want to search my netmail folder when all my netamil is readily   
   accessible in my netmail folder.

   That's correct.

   Both our filters achieve a similar thing but it's all down to personal   
   preference how we achieve it :-)
