ok - so if i have a folder labeled 'my_stuff', and I make another folder
called - '2006_my_stuff' , and then copy all of the messages from
my_stuff into it, I would have to move it out of .evo so it wouldn't
show up on the active list any more.  But I haven't found anywhere that
says that evo can open another mailbox dir anywhere else.  Do you know
if evo is capable of this? (similar to M$ archive/multiple mailbox
options)
