How does your filter feature work

more options

Hi,

I do a filtering of multiple alias accounts pulling from zoho & they all go to the same inbox.

We need to know how TB filters to see if we lost email because the checkbox was checked off "Until I delete."

Does it check for emails from all accounts and then filter and delete emails after that, or does it check emails from one account and filter and delete from that account before it moves on to checking the next account?

Thanks

Are you talking about the account setting option in POP mail accounts to keep messages on the server until I delete them locally?

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay.

Yes, that's what we are referring.

Another question, I have my accounts set to delete trash on exit. I don't go to manually click on file exit, I right click on the icon & close TB.

I don't think TB is deleting my trash when I restart TB.

Thanks
