717544	2008-11-04 22:27:00	Hi all I cannot seem to get these to work correctly I can do this using filters but I don't wish for various reasons to use filters for this Scenario is this I get loads of email from one domain, multiple people there, as well as another domain that has the first domains address as part of its domain. They are not on the same domain or a subdomain, it's a bit confusing so it is best served with an example Main Domain emails come from nt@bobsbigbits.com mick@bobsbigbits.com office@bobsbigbits.com ...etc Other domain alert@bobsbigbits.otherdomain.com info@bobsbigbits.otherdomain.com ...etc Now I want all of these top go into the same search folder so i made a new custom search folder, set my search criteria as "@bobsbigbits" and it works for everything except the main bosses email, as his email address as set in the body of the email is Boss@BobsBigsBits.com, yes the capitalisation is throwing it. All I want the bloody thing to do is put all email where the sending address contains bobsbigbits into this folder, but i can't seem to get it to work. I cannot seem to find the correct criteria field to select "from", "email" don't seem to work, it is driving me slightly potty Any help would be greatly appreciated	Morgenmuffel (187)

Anyway i have cobbled together a hack using a rule to assign all incoming mail that contains "bobsbigbits" in the email address to a specific category, and then have the search folder working off the category If anyone has a better idea i'm all ears And the reason i didn't want to use rules and normal inbox sub-folders was that there is no "new email" icon displayed in the taskbar when email is shunted into a subfolder of the inbox.
