Hi, Are you using imap? if so, are you having messages moved to a local mail box or what? I never liked gmails way of filtering things. For example, If I created a lable for mac access and had a filter to move all messages from this list and the messages would would show up under the main mail box and I feel that if they are labled then they should only show up if you activate the lable. I hope I am making sense.
