- I was wondering if there is a way to make it so the default folder to save
- a piece of mail to is a folder with the name of the alias of the person.
- This would be useful in the case of people who don't use their real name,
- e.g. robert@xxx goes by Bob or someone with one of those annoying accounts
- named with random characters. If you use the nickname 'bob' to send mail
- to this person it would make sense that you also have his mail saved to a
- folder with that name by default. If an address has multiple nicknames then
- the first one would be used.
-
- I haven't found anything in the documentation on this and if the FAQ has
- anything on this I wouldn't know since it hasn't appeared in over
- 2 weeks (the length of time I have looked at postings here).
