Sorry Burnout it took so long to reply.

No problem. Thanks for the clarification.

I have one other problem with email which just occurred today -- it may have occurred b4 today but I just noticed it.
I have utilized many 'lablels' and in some cases they have 4-5 sub sets under a particular label. They are all expandable using the '+' sign. Labels are a wonderful Opera feature.
The problem is that whereas I once had a master label, I forget it's name, to which I could drag labels in order to have them sorted properly I currently do not have a master label which contains all labels within it.
Now if something gets out of order and perhaps becomes a subset of a equivalent level 'label' I have no master label to drag it to so it is reset in its proper order. Is there any way to create a new label which will be a super set of all the labels?

Having trouble visualizing exactly what you mean. But, I'll just explain how nesting works and you can take it from there.

In Opera, nesting of labels is only visual. A sub-label doesn't inherit rules of the parent or anything like that. So, you can drag a label in and out of another label without changing anything but its visual location. Also, dragging a message into a sub-label does not also add it to the parent label (or any of its ancestors). It just goes in that label.

So, you can just create a new master label and drag whatever labels you want into it.

However, you can simulate inheritance with rules. You set rules for a parent. Then, in the sub label/child, you set those rules again plus some other rules to further filter the results. Then, when a child pulls in messages, the parent will pull in those messages too (because it has a subset of the rules the child has).

Now, instead of repeating the parent's rules for each child's rules, there's a "match messages in" option in the properties of a label. You can set "match messages in" for a child to its parent so you don't have to repeat the parent's rules.

FYI though. Make sure "learn from labeled messages" is unchecked in all your labels unless you understand how that works and want learning.

But, even with all the rule inheritance, if you manually add a sub-label to a message, you'll want to manually add the sub-label's parent label to the message if you want it to show there also as Opera won't automatically add it for you.
