Help with custom columns plz

[maxicomm]

OK ... have activated Custom Column 1 in Tools > option > Index Columns > Column Visibility > Column Setup > Custom 1

Question is however, HOW DO I actually asign a value or action to Custom 1 (ie for instance if I want it to display the folder where the email message is actually being stored) ???

Thanks

You don't need to use the Custom column to display where that message is stored.

If you're using the Quick Search (Focus), the messages displayed in the folder will show also the location where that message is stored.
Use the scroll bar to show the folder in the Index View.

The same applies when using the Search.

I second Eric's suggestion.

Custom columns can display what's in the headers, so click on headers link in message preview pane to display long headers and check what's possible. They can be setup in Column Setup tab.
For example you can fill in X-Mailer to see the email client that sender used, X-Poco-Annotation to have the note displayed if you use notes occasionally, X-Account to see account that received message, it could be used to see Spam probability that your antispam software assigned to the email, etc.
