I've tried working by copying todo's to a special Chris> folder but I'm not trainable enough in that mode. You know, I was thinking about something like that just yesterday. Background: I currently use "unread" as need-to-handle-at-some-point, and ticked as "critical". Thus, most of my zillions of folders have zillions of unread messages in them since I never manage to get anything done. What I need, though, is a sorted and combined list of all my outstanding mail messages (preferably prioritized). The problem is that they're spread over a lot of groups, and it would be really slow opening a whole ton of nnimap groups to generate one large summary buffer full of todo items from all the groups. The way around this, probably, is through the use of the cache or the agent. What I'd like would be a thread summary something like (badly drawn, sorry): imap \- inbox \- family - Go to Mom's at 9 - Help sister with her computer \- work - Write boss \- project1 - submit report But the cool thing would be if each of the topics actually came from a group name (imap.inbox, imap.inbox.family, imap.work, imap.work.project1), ... And if all the data was auto-gathered from a specified list of folders to work on. I don't think putting something like this together would be terribly difficult, since the support for much of it already exists (virtual groups, todos, cache, agent, ...). It's just a matter of a high-level wrapper. -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett
