Moving mail to a different folder in Questmail

[Wassercrats]

Once again, OE won't accept my password for sending email, so I'm using Questmail until I get it straightened out (my next move will be switching ISPs). How can I move a message from my inbox and a reply from my Sent folder to my Important folder in Questmail? The help section didn't help.

Click the box in front of the message you want to move, use the pulldown at the top to select the folder you want to move the message to, then click the Move button.
That should do it.

(Note that the folders are shown as subfolders of the inbox, such as INBOX.Important. Also note that messages not located in the Inbox won't be able to be accessed via POP.)

Oh, somehow I missed that. Thanks.

Oh, somehow I missed that. Thanks.Not a problem at all. :)

Just for reference, in case you didn't find it in the help section within QuestMail, it's covered under Message Index (although I see it states four buttons when it should say five...oops):
A bar containing four buttons is next. On the left side is a drop down list box. This box lists your currently subscribed folders. Any selected message will be moved to the selected folder when the move button is pushed. Multiple messages may be moved at once.

I only checked the Folders help section. I didn't even read all of that one, but I don't think it says.

I only checked the Folders help section. I didn't even read all of that one, but I don't think it says.I see. The Folders help section is specific to Folders and the options having to do with them, e.g. Delete (a folder), Create (a folder), Rename (a folder), etc.

Sounds like you have it all figured out now. :)

Odd, I spent all day today unable to send mail. In fact, I couldn't click "Submit" or "Send" on any web page, either. I tried to post here, and I tried to submit a Service Ticket, but everything would time out.

My e-mail client (Outlook 2007) would pop up a Symantec Mail Scanner message saying the message couldn't be sent because I had lost a conneciton to the mail server.

Odd coincidence?

To add perhaps another possibly coincidental item, I noticed that I seemed to be getting more spam than usual over the past day or two. Could it be the internet is getting overloaded :hrmm:

Are either of your ISPs Verizon?

Ted, was that "total" spam or just "missed" spam (i.e. the stuff that snuck thru all your spam filters)?

If it was only the sneaky stuff, that was due to a denial of service attack against Spamhaus and both (public) domain blocklists. More info here:

Based on the reports of FQ-ers who are on the IpNation spam slaying team (http://Puffin.net/software/spam/index.htm), you probably had a 10% to 30% dip in SpamAssassin's effectiveness, starting on the evening of the 6th and pretty much abated around the 9th.

I had a nervous moment when I got Chipmunk's email warning me not to be alarmed by "solid purple" in IpNation's log viewer (anything missed by SA is shown in bright bright purple). Fortunately, all of the spammy domains that weren't on blocklists were hosted in spammy nations (real or virtual), with about half hosted in China, so my double-goose egg killrate was unharmed. :P

Today, I did notice a slight slow down in how fast stuff is getting into URIBL (i.e. SA's URIBL_BLACK test). It's mostly, um, male targeted spam.

Now that you mention it, I think it was probably just "missed" spam. What caught my attention was the increased volume that was forwarded to my "regular" email account from my domains here at FQ, but I do recall looking at a few messages and being surprised that something which was so obviously spam would not be marked so by Spam Assassin.

Anyway, I think less is getting through now - maybe a bit more than usual, but close to normal, so that would pretty much fit the time frame you mention.

Yeah, that sounds like it.

If it makes you feel better, some people had SA killrates as low as 30 something percent.

Normally I'm around 80%, and dropped to the low 60s, so if I had only been using SA, I'd have seen double my "normal" amount of spam.
