Re: Folders

[Frederick Ros <Frederick Ros ulticom com>]

Looking at balsa settings there is a Filters entry.. The dialog box
allows to create some filters, and to move incoming mail, for example,
in some folders , based on subject/body/.. etc..

It seems that only the dialog box is implemented right now as I can
figure how to create folders...
