8. Virtual folder

Virtual mode is a virtual folder and it consists of "selection" and "thread".

‘Selection’

A virtual folder collecting necessary messages from several folders. Its folder name has "*" on the left side.

‘Thread’

A virtual folder to visualize message flow with indentation, created from a folder or a virtual folder. Its folder name has "*" on the both sides.

In Virtual mode, you can use most commands that you can find in Summary mode.

If you put a mark on a message in Virtual mode and if corresponding Summary mode exists, the mark is also put onto the corresponding message there. But if you put a mark on a message in Summary mode, the mark is not put any corresponding messages in Virtual mode.

You cannot process marks in Virtual mode. Even if you type ‘x’ to process marks in Virtual mode, the cursor moves to corresponding Summary mode, if exsists, and you are asked to type ‘x’ again.

You should take note that Virtual folder is really virtual and it does not exist in file system. If you exit Mew, it then disappears. To know how to delete Virtual mode, please refer to See section Give me a break.
