Whereas the Compuserve 7.0 software, which suddenly was shut down today, allows you to put the various folders in any order that you want them in without having to put place holding letters or numbers in front of the folder names.

   I'm not Kurt, but as an outsider (I have been 100% LINUX since June
28, 1997) I am not awake enough to keep me from commenting here.

   Either you are unable to properly control your E-mail CLIENT or it is
defective.

   You have been advised to try Thunderbird, but you have so for refused
to try it.

   The LINUX version routinely does *everything* that you complain about
not being able to do with your defective software.
This matter would be long settled if you are able to master the simple
requirements of "T-bird" and you would be happier today. (me 2)
