Re: [VM] Mainly: How do you use virtual folders every day? and other questions

[Stefan . Grosshauser]

Thank you both a lot for your kind and detailed explanations! This way me and 
others can reuse some of your experiences.

I have tried out sorting away messages with filter like the following and look 
at mail from several folders altogether with a virtual folder called "inbox". 
In order to receive new mail while visiting this virtual folder I type 'g' and 
vm asks me for all the passwords and retrieves mail, which is okay for me.

I also like your archiving method, Johan. Have not yet configured it here, 
though.
