<para>
- To create a virtual folder, select <menuchoice>
- <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Virtual Folder
- Editor</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>. This will bring up a
- dialog box that looks suspiciously like the filter window
- (for more information on filters, see <xref
- linkend="usage-mail-organize-filters">), and which
- presents you with a list of virtual folders you have previously
- created. If you have created any virtual folders, they are listed
- here, and you can select, edit or remove them if you wish.
- If you have not created any, there will be only one available
- option: click <guibutton>Add</guibutton> to add a new
- Virtual Folder.
- </para>
- <para>
- You can enter a name for your virtual folder in the
- <guilabel>Name</guilabel>. Then, tell
- <application>Evolution</application> what messages to look
- for. This process is exactly like filter creation: decide
- between <guilabel>Match all parts</guilabel> and
- <guilabel>Match any part</guilabel>, then choose what part of
- the message to look in, what sort of matching to perform, and
- specify exactly what it is that you want to find, be it a
- line of text, a score, a regular expression, or a particular date or
- range of dates.
- </para>
- <para>
- The second part, however, is slightly different. In the
- section of the window labelled <guilabel>Virtual Folder Sources
- </guilabel> is a list of folders in which
- <application>Evolution</application> will search for the
- contents of your vFolder. Click <guibutton>Add</guibutton>
- to add a folder, or <guibutton>Remove</guibutton> to remove
- one. That way, you can have your vFolder search in
- newsgroups, or just in one of your mailboxes, or just in a
- select few folders you've already screened with filters.

+ Name your filter in the <guilabel>Rule name</guilabel> field.
+ For each filter criterion, you must first select
+ which of the following parts of the message you want the filter to
+ examine:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Sender - The sender's address.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ Recipients - The recipients of the message.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ Subject - The subject line of the message.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ Specific Header - The filter can look at any header you
+ want, even obscure or custom ones. Enter the header name
+ in the first text box, and put your search text in the
+ second one.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ Message Body - Search in the actual text of the message.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Expression - For programmers only: match a message according to an
+ expression you write in the Scheme language, used to
+ define filters in Evolution.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para> Date sent - Filter messages according to the date on
+ which they were sent: First, choose the conditions you
+ want a message to meet &mdash; <guilabel>before</guilabel>
+ a given time, <guilabel>after</guilabel> it, and so forth.
+ Then, choose the time. The filter will compare the
+ message's time-stamp to the system clock when the filter
+ is run, or to a specific time and date you choose from a
+ calendar. You can even have it look for messages within a
+ range of time relative to the filter &mdash perhaps you're
+ looking for messages less than two days old.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ Date Recieved - This works the same way as the <guilabel>Date Sent</guilabel>
+ option, except that it compares the time you got the message
+ with the dates you specify.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>
+ Score - Emails have a standard priority range from -3 (least
+ important) to 3 (most important). You can have filters set the
