I make sure the message filter checks if the email address is in any of 
the options stated above.  It really works, except when someone sends 
the reply to the list and to me directly.  At that point I get both 
messages in the LibreOffice folder based on which list it is part of - 
i.e. this list is in the "LibreO - Users Global" folder and the website 
list uses "LibreO - Website" folder.

I have been using Thunderbird for many years.  The only problem I have 
is I cannot save the message filters.  When I have a system crash [when 
using Windows] and had to reinstall Windows, I had no ability to reload 
the message filters as I can with the saved emails and address-book.  
When I went from Windows to Ubuntu for my default system, I had to 
rebuild the Message Filtering that had several years of "growth" that I 
had to rebuild from scratch.

I currently read my emails from only one computer - my Ubuntu 10.04 
desktop.  If I need to deal with emails on a different computer, I use 
my domain/email hosting system's web-mail system.  Since I use the 
Ubuntu desktop, a Dell laptop running Ubuntu 12.04/MATE and Vista, HP 
laptop running XP/pro, an Android tablet, a Ubuntu 10.04 desktop 
attached to my HD-TV set for the types of Internet audio/video that my 
Blu-ray player cannot do, and a few more desktops running Ubuntu or XP 
that are spares or will be given to others who need them and cannot 
afford to buy one themselves.

With this mix of system being used for various tasks, I would have a 
mess if I tried to read emails on more than one system, even if I could 
get a sync system to work properly between the various Windows and 
Ubuntu systems.

I currently use a 1 TB and a 2 TB USB external hard drive[s] for backing 
up my main Ubuntu desktop [it has the two drives - 1 TB and 2 TB - 
installed].  Then I can use these external drives to play AVI and 
MPG/MP4 files on my TV via the Blu-ray player or listen to audio books 
with the ability to deal with the volume and play/pause controls of the 
Blu-ray player and not having to get up out of my comfy chair to do so 
with my computer.  The down side of this is the USB drives must be 
Windows formatted and it takes a long time to defrag/optimize the 2 TB 
drive. With 324 GB free space on that drive, it has been over 26 hours 
running the Auslogics Disk Defrag software on a Dell laptop - Pentium 
Dual core CPU T3200 @ 2.00 GHz, 32-bit Vista, with 3 GB of RAM.

I must keep the drives formatted to Windows systems so the Windows 
computers and the Blu-ray player can access them.  But that is a small 
price to pay for having all my media and data file accessible to all my 
computers and media players that can use an external USB drive.  It is 
much better than having to load up a 32 GB microSD flash card, and use a 
USB card reader, to share the file[s] between devices.  Much slower as well.
