he created a rule to move all e-mail to a junk folder 
So what you are saying is that all edumail is junk mail Roland??? hehe
then other rules to move selected messages back to the inbox
clever - if you have the time to set up all the rules!!
 
Throw it all out, and then retrieve just what you want back again!!! The min=
d boggles!!

I think I now know what Ros is looking for.

I have a pop3 e-mail account for home that I use on my home computer with Th=
underbird and another at school .. nothing new there but it is better now th=
at I dont use these for my edulist mail. Like others on this list, I resubsc=
ribed using a web based email service (there are many around with ooodles of=
 capacity .. gmail shows this thread of 15 messages as single web page). Gra=
dually I have added other subscription and mailing lists, sometimes adding f=
ilters and rules to my home and school e-mail to bounce the messages to the=
 web based service and more rules to move mail for my-eyes-only back to its=
 proper place. All this rule scripting must add up to a VCE unit somewhere .=
. 

Our tech had soooooo much junk mail missed that he created a rule to move al=
l e-mail to a junk folder then other rules to move selected messages back to=
 the inbox. We had such a good laugh to see it actually working. I have ofte=
n wondered if I could make better use of the round, empty filing cabinet nex=
t to my desk. ;-)

	mmm ... thanks guys ... lots of food for thought in your suggestions.
	
	I guess everyone is different - to be honest I don't want to mix up my edum=
ail with my home and business email (which I collect via Outlook on a home d=
esktop). Also Outlook can only be accessed from the home computer. 
	
	And my other problem is I have 2 school emails - edumail gets all the email=
 which is sent to Bentleigh SC teachers (I am on a year's LWOP) plus all the=
 edulists I subscribe to, plus other assorted educational/learning emails wh=
ich I send/receive. 
	
	Then I have my Lauriston email - which is easy - open Outlook on my Laurist=
on tablet PC and if I am at school I have instant access to all that email,=
 plus I DO use the Calendar for every class/meeting/helpdesk duty/yard duty/=
assembly etc - so that is fine. Once you have set up the calendar it is grea=
t! I don't do anything with paper nowadays. And I use the Tasks also for thi=
ngs I have to do. If I am home or on another computer I can access my Lauris=
ton email and calendar via their website. 
	
	The problem with edumail is that it is slow...I could send an email with no=
thing in it to myself and it could take half an hour, sometimes I email one=
 of the edulists, then someone else may email a similar suggestion, but mine=
 won't appear for another 40 minutes or so (and then I look like the doofus!=
!! lol) or I will hit reply, then get sidetracked, and then a blank email hi=
ts the edulists (embarrassing plus) I know I am not the only person this has=
 happened to. Also it has a limit on file sizes sent or received, and a limi=
t on how much you can store in the inbox, but I can't find out what these li=
mits are or what percentage of that limit I have used. Also people tell me t=
hey send something to my edumail but I never get it. I just think that it is=
 unreliable. Attaching a file takes forever and you can only attach one file=
 at a time, received attachments often have to be saved before you can open=
 them (now that makes sense eh!! - How do you know whether you want to s! av=
e it when you haven't even seen it!!??!!).  The one advantage of edumail is=
 its spam free nature. 
	
	Anyway the positive of all this is that Peter Thomson had the edumail setup=
s for yahoo, so I can now pull my edumail into there, it still looks as thou=
gh I am sending from edumail, but in fact it comes from yahoo, and I have 20=
0 Mb of storage and a bar graph shows me what percentage of that I have used=
 :)) 
	
	In the meantime I am hoping that gmail will get it happening so that you ca=
n import other emails into it, then we will all have 2 gig email storage, an=
d if that happens I will probably move everything over to my gmail address!!=
 
	
	Thank you all once again, and cheers

	I keep playing with Outlook and then find it won't do something or other
	I've always taken for granted in a mail client. I tend to use 
	Thunderbird on my WinXP machine but on Linux I use
	Mutt/Fetchmail/Procmail/Sendmail! Just call me old fashioned but I love
	text based apps (speed+) :)
	
	The Thunderbird features I find most useful are the filtering tools 
	combined with labelling. Maybe you can do that with Outlook but I never
	found it very configurable - as for importing mail from Outlook Express
	into Outlook - I needed to use Eudora's import/export tools!
	
	Evolution is too Outlook-like for me but I do like its virtual folders
	which have been picked up in Thunderbird as saved dynamic searches.
	
	To return to the original thread - our mail configuration doesn't delete 
	ALL the records from pop3.edumail so I have needed to visit EDumail's web
	interface to do an annual cleanout.
