Re: [Evolution] Search Filters for Sent mail ??

[Thomas Mittelstaedt <tmstaedt t-mittelstaedt de>]

Bill,

Why don't you set up your filters to move mails "Mail
from my special Linux account billlinux ip com addressed to me
personally." to a real folder and if you reply to such a mail, 
just move it from the Sent folder to this new Personal Mail folder.
Then set up search folders to scan this Personal Folder in addition to the others.
I am not trying to mock you or so, just trying to think in a straightforward way.
