Hi Dan! I'm aware of that (I'm an IT Analyst for a living), and I use MS Outlook for my email...I have lots of rules set-up, and in fact, I have a FANTASTIC little tool I used called "SimplyFile" for Outlook, which is great http://www.techhit.com/SimplyFile/ I highly recommend it!!! There's a 30 day trial available for anyone interested, and the application itself, though it does have a cost to use long-term, is very minimal ($25?) The best $25 I've ever spent on a piece of software... -David Reed List Administrator: MAINE, NEW-ENG-GEN, MELINCOL (Maine, Lincoln County), ME-IRISH, CEMETERIES-HISTORIC-PRESERVATION, MARIN --------------------------------------------- "Actually, there is only one 'first question' of government, and it is "How should we live?" or "What kind of people do we want our citizens to be?" - George F.

I am using OE 6 to pop gmail, it works great, been doing it since g mail started, but I do not, have g mail pop setting set up only to allow pop, but I set the OE to download g mail with out loging in at all and I get it just like OE always works with all filters and folder options working and gmail filters spam great. Once you have gmail to OE< thunderbird or what ever you prefer, just make the filter to send your reply to the folder, then its all there. Just some simple tweaking. If you want the gmail settings they are on the gmail help site. pop.gmail.com smtp.gmail.com and use the settings for the rest if you get lost let me know I can send screen shots. The self contained disappears in OE separates each reply.
