I would do this from a script and a macro@mutt which let you set flags and such... I do this too since I have some realy comples situation with some customers but coded the whole stuff to my needs... And yes, I was coding/testing over 3 weeks but since 4 years it save me the day... > > > - Don't want the archive to interfere (too much) with this overview. > > > > ??? > > Suppose I have a folder for the foo project.

You can FLAG messages in "mutt" OR, if you can code stuff, make a script with a dialog where aou can set FLAGS and notes and then let a cronjob do the rest. Please note, if you want to do individual message threating you need definitivly Maildir folders. (my system must handel per day over 8000 messages automaticaly and I realy do not want to handel this by hand, once for a new unhanled stuff is enough and then it must go magicaly...) > > > Right?
