Security? What sort of security from merely supressing the name of the 
mailer?

Ce`?

Right-click on INBOX, left-click on NewFolder, type in name - and you're 
done.

Been like this for YEARS and not just since the last 6 months.

That's different. Importing mail from kmail into TB is quite an 
adventure from what I have read. The problem here is that each uses a 
different method of storing messages. As yet, as far as I know, nobody 
has written a workable conversion program and so one has to take a 
"scenic tour" to transfer messges from kmail to TB.

See my reply to PleetWat. My TB displayed that post perfectly.
