Because of the way IMAP works, we had to restrict the MLM to only
operate on new messages entering the Inbox for the first time.
Otherwise everytime you selected another folder, the MLM would run on
its contents and possibly move messages around inappropriatly.

A workaround is to sort on the To: column (Ctrl-click the column headers
to add To if needed), and manually select and drag the list messages.

You can also make an custom IMAP rule to do the same.

Subject: Apply Mailing List Rules to Old Messages?


Hello!
I have built a variety of Mailing List Rules using the Mailing List
Manager, and they seem to work very well for newly arrived e-mail.

I would like to run these rules against "old" messages that were in my
Inbox prior to creating the rules.

When I select a set of messages, and issue the "Message/Apply Rules"
command, nothing happens. Well, at least my Mailing List Rules don't
seem to run.

Is it possible to apply these rules to "old" messages? (I hope I'm not
missing anything obvious...  ;-)

Thanks!
