[Users] Operational Question

[Stuart Perkins]

Paul,

Thanks.  I was unaware of that configuration.  The operation of
claws-mail changed after an upgrade as I was accustomed to focus staying
on the e-mail I was looking at as the receive completed.  Actually, the
"default" folder is the main one directly associated with the primary
account, which is other than the Inbox. My "Inbox" gets very few
messages as most are filtered to categorize them.  I never delete an
e-mail...have some 20+ years old...over 500k in number, and 23 GB in
size. By categorizing them, I can selectively go to the important ones
first, and the others if/when I have time.

At any rate, thanks a bunch Paul.  I will know on next receive if it
corrected my issue.  

One of the things I love about Claws-mail is how it accesses
accounts serially on a "receive"...I was using another one which did it
all simultaneously and would trip on itself with the many e-mail
accounts I access.

Another thing I love is the fact that storage is simple files.  I can
search them with grep and read them even if the mail client is broken.

Like I said, I have some very old e-mails.  One time I got into an
argument with my brother over a topic we had resolved years ago.  He
had no idea I still had the e-mail chain.  He never apologized or
accepted the fact that we had already addressed the issue.  We don't
talk these days.

Stuart
