Okay, I've decided to start over.
Current state:
- I copied all my email from the sent sub-folders back to the parent folder,
deleted the sent sub-folders, and deleted the sent sub-folders rules.
- The only Search Folders that remain are "Unread Mail", "Large Mail" and
"For Follow Up"
- At the moment all sent mail appears in one "Sent Items" folder.
Objective:
I want to be able to find, at a glance or at least with the minimum number
of clicks, emails sent using POP 3 Account 1 or POP3 Account 2 or POP3
Account 3. I know that I can sort sent mail by account, and I can even add a
column that will show the sending address (instead of just "To", "Subject",
"Sent", and "Size", but I just think that folders are much neater and quicker.
