I could give you a way state a list of things like "Re./Fwd./Answ./[sener unverified etc.]". Then they would be auto-removed from the subject of the dropped email. Could spare you some dull work...

(I am trying to clean up my Inbox and drop messages into correspondence folders by client.) But for sent messages, the date is always the date the message is dragged and dropped. I suspect a bug, but maybe I am missing something.
This problem is fixed since tow days! Now its a good tool!

I would like to add more options to generate the name of the emails.

e.g.

exclude special character from the filename, like...

' @ * ;

or easier, just allow...

numbers
letters
- (minus)
_ (underline)
. (point)

Additional it would be nice to set a maximum number of signs for the following

e.g.

<from> and <to> maximal 10 sings
→ or better take just the real address in front of the @

<subject> maximum 20 signs

it would also be great to know all possible <parameters> you can chose from to build the best possible filename. Maybe there is a list availably?

Well, "letters", that's not so easy. There are many letters in the Unicode system. I think it would be easier to disallow certain characters. However, I don't really understand the reason. Why suppress information? If such a sign is part of the subject, suppressing that sign could render the subject incomprehensible.

Still have the problem that dropped messages form Outlook "Sent" folder get the stamp date & time of the dropping time rather that the sent time, while with received messages it workd well.

But more important and urgrnt - since upgrading to 19.90 version I cannot drop at all messages from the "sent" folder. So I had to downgrade to 19.80 where it still works.

please help.

None of those issues here. :?

"cannot drop at all"? What happens? No drop cursor?

No drop cursor but it creates a folder? This is very strange.

And from your screenshot that folder is not empty but has 4 items (0 bytes, but still items): what are the names of those items?
