Hi Ilia, when managing folders there are 3 options, add folder which is the local and solves the problem, but also composite and virtual, what are those last 2, not really used UM in depth before.

Thanks again, problem is fixed by the looks.

Also does UM not have a drag and drop ability then to move email files from the mail display area to the folders section on the left?

Ok, I quite like UM. I posted VM instead of UM sorry.

Thanks again.
