Yeah, I tried that, didn't work. Like before, I deleted all the filters, then established new ones from scratch. Now it's working correctly. I would guess there's an underlying link that gets created that tells the filter rule where the source of the mails are located it's supposed to filter, i.e, Inbox. When you recreate from scratch, you undoubtedly create another link, only this time it's the folder holding the mail that you make the rule from. ( That sounds clear as mud...) A normal rule would link from Inbox. My new rule will be linked from Procmail. At least that's my guess. But it now working fine.
