All the filtering is on the client side, so that is not the problem. The odd thing is that the client shows that there are new messages in the folder. But when you click on the folder, none of the new messages are in the listing. It looks like a caching problem, but I'm not sure if it is the client or server that is having the problem. But thanks for the response. Richard Coleman rcoleman@criticalmagic.com
