That's good to hear.

To save space? I was thinking about which message properties might be
useful for filtering, and message size bubbled up first. Lotus Notes/
Domino allows replicating databases with a maximum document size filter,
which is useful for low-bandwidth connections or if you can't afford a
volume flat rate for your mobile phone.

Well, I wouldn't want a feature to cause trouble. It was just an idea.
The folder based filtering however is important to me, so I am glad that
you consider it a feasible suggestion.
