Hi Chuck; I've up to the latest cvs, which solved the errors that I was 
discussing with Anil earlier (though at the time the code was updated 
almost that day) -- I was referring to the radio buttons at the time.  Now 
having got the cvs code from this morning running, a few thoughts/questions:

What I was referring to with the selected was already done with the cvs 
commit that changed the radio buttons to checkmarks and made it so that 
INBOX wasn't selected by default.  Now, I get told to select a folder 
before I can perform an operation (good!).

On the UW server we run, I'm finding I can click inbox, click create, and I 
successfully get told I made an "INBOX/test" folder.   No such thing 
appears on my list, and I suspect it didn't happen.  I'm not an expert 
server admin, nor am I the admin for that server.... but that would appear 
to be undesirable behavior as it will be confusing to users?  (I'm aware 
from our previous discussion on this that it is normal behavior for other 
IMAP servers, but since we're using UW, and INBOX subfolders aren't normal 
for it, that there be someway for this behavior not to occur).

I'm thinking the solution is to remove the checkmark box from beside inbox, 
in our implementation, as those operations shouldn't be applied to 
it...?  I'm happy to do local hacks if needed, but am wondering if this is 
a larger issue for users of UW?

Also... I can only create folders if I checkmark "mail" (as that is the 
root folder path), or if I select one of the pre-existing folders that I 
created with Eudora -- I can only create items by selecting icons that are 
shown as the folder icon.   How can I create a folder, then create a 
subfolder? (If this is still being worked on, no problem... but if it's 
supposed to work and doesn't, I'd just want to let you know :)).

Another question -- is the current design not going to have the automatic 
inbox refresh every x minutes like 2.2 has?  Or is this just not coded 
yet?  If it isn't, is there any reason why not?  (It sounds like someone I 
could help move over to 2.3 easy enough... famous last words of course.)


Max et al.  --- kudos on the filters!  I've just started playing with them, 
and they're great.   Awesome work!
