I like to see when Filter is brought up that counts the number of members in a given filter. I also see TB count the numbers of filters there are in given accounts. A wish list is determine when a member has last responded other than checking the folder to see and have it removed after being in for say 30 to 90 days.

I also like to see filter window itself to auto size to the screen as I am constantly having to shrink it so I can see the ok button on the bottom. If you going to keep it as is then put ok apply button on top as well. See my image attached and you'll see what I mean.

The reason for wanting the counter of members in a filter as mine are getting really long.

Also i like to find out why TB is taking up so much memory. I've added screenshot to task manager. I only have 8 GB on this laptop. I have change the swap space on Windows OS to accommodate. it help some but not a lot.

Any ideas?

If you added all the contacts in your filter to an address book, the filter could be reduced to From + is in my address book + <name of address book>. The number of contacts in an address book is shown in the Status Bar in Address Book.
