How do I create a tag filter to select all messages with Tag Foo and NOT Tag Bar. If I highlight Foo with AND and Bar with NOT, I get no filter - it shows everything. I want everything tagged with Foo but not also with Bar.

Also is it possible to show filter results across all folders - do I need to do a search folder for this? Currently I have two folders - Inbox and Archive but would like to filter across both.

Hi Ken,

The simplest way to do this is through a Filter on a Search Folder, i.e. combine your two questions.

Here's the steps:

(1) Bring up the Filter and select the 'Foo' tag.

(2) Create a Search Folder from this filter by using the button on the Filter tool. This will then search everywhere in the local store for that tag.

(3) Select the new Search Folder 'Tags - Foo'

(4) Bring up the Filter tool again and this time click 'Bar' until it cycles to shows a Red background to indicate the NOT condition.

The combination of the NOT and AND in the filters is a pretty simplistic at the moment, i.e. no order of precedence and all that, but we are looking at expanding it by the use of 'orders' etc. The trick will be into making it easy to use and understandable.

Thanks for th tip! I didn't think of that.
