When a filter list gets too long, it is almost impossible to find a given filter, and even to figure out where to add a new one. Some sort of structure would make it much more manageable. One possibility would be a hierarchical structure where filters could be grouped. So I could have groups of filters for managing messages for the various activities I am involved with. For example, I might have something as simple as Home and Work, or I might have more categories such as Tennis, Football, Computer Club, Family History, Frequent Flyers, Clients, Suppliers, etc. Ideally, groups could be nested within groups. | When a filter list gets too long, it is almost impossible to find a given filter, and even to figure out where to add a new one.

It would also be nice to be able to search filters. When the list gets long it's not easy to find what you're looking for. | |||
[2007-04-06 Filter List Structure - In Eudora you can create a "Heading" in the list of filters. In the Upper 'Match' section create the filter just as an Incoming filter and then do the following : Header: {type anything you want, Family, Friends, Tennis, Blocked Domains, Banking, etc .....} Now move down to the 'Actions' section and in the 1st action box {Make Label and choose a color you like}. Save the filter. You now have a 'filter' that performs no action other than making the text you typed in the Header area the color you chose. Use this 'filter' as a section separator/header for related filters. I have about 40 of these in my filters list to organize filters pertaining to family / friends / banking / projects / domains I don't want mail from / tradespeople / shopping sites / newsletters / magazines , etc. E-mail Guy] | [2007-04-06 Filter List Structure - In Eudora you can create a "Heading" in the list of filters.
