[Users] setup accounts/folders

[waltz at krutt.org]

"Right click on a Claws folder ;)."
It shows Rename and Move functions grayed out in Claws.

I set up a "Claws Mail" folder with the initial "In, Sent, Drafts, 
Queue, Trash boxes" in "/home".  Both accounts will use the same boxes 
in and out (before processing/filtering).  However, I now want to make 
folders for different accounts. There will be at least one more account. 
I also want to make folder trees (maybe just one or two more sublevels; 
example: account-J/shipping/fed-ex| DHL| UPS (courier folders in 
parallel).

Ok; just made two folders, but did not set processing/filters to feed 
them.

This arrangement looks similar to my previous set-up in Eudora. Incoming 
mail was generally filtered to the account mailboxes. My main account 
had filters to topical mailboxes, but some mail did tend to accumulate 
in the main inbox. Eudora advised moving all but the last few emails 
(maybe 100) out, as the accumulation in main inbox could slow that 
program; while the other boxes were not limited nor a similar drain on 
the system.  It makes logical sense to process/filter/group the mail in 
a reasonable period, but is it also better for Claws regarding 
accumulation in the data in/out path?

Now, right clicking on the two new mail folders I created allows me to 
see where to change the properties.  "Folder type" can be set to Normal, 
inbox, outbox, draft...  I will need some folders but sometimes just a 
mailbox?  Why wouldn't "sent" and "received" mail go into a common 
mailbox?  This would preserve all correspondence together in one place.  
I like the idea of conversation threading, but I also still tend to look 
through the messages for discussion that was edited from replies or 
otherwise excluded from a thread.

Filters in Eudora operated on outgoing mail when it was sent.  Before 
that time, sendable/draft, queued, and sent mail that did not get 
filtered remained in the main outgoing box with indicators 
distinguishing the status of messages.  Will Claws work similar?  And 
again, why not join "in/sent" mail that match other filter parameters?

Thank you all for your help.
