It was empty, yes, and I did; and what's more, at least one message
arrived, and got filtered into another incoming folder, while I was
reading one in my inbox.

Yup. Sure enough! And it went into the new stuff at the top of the Ns, not
the bottom, just as I wanted. Wonderful! Many thanks!

No doubt; but I could tell in the first minute that I'm gonna like it
better.
One thing I didn't expect : some, when I got back to my inbox with another
tab, were now marked RA -- first I've seen *two* marks in front of an item
in a folder list. One at least was in fact recent, and I had already
answered it. This just keeps getting better! I wish I'd asked years ago.
<grin>
Many, many thanks, yet again!
