Still struggling.  I’m on 6065, and just created a new rule:
Have smart mailbox under All Messages. Created rule in that smartmailbox:
Set condition to
Any address contains ‘email address’
Set rule to any address contains ‘email address’
Committed rule
Apply rule
And still get entire inbox.

I’m not sure what you want to accomplish with rules in the above, since you didn’t mention any actions.

I created a smart mailbox under All Messages. In the smart mailbox configuration, the Mailboxes tab is the default (All Messages). I set the Conditions to “From • Name is - Glenn Parker”. The smart mailbox immediately changes to show only messages from me.

Now, if I wanted to do something with that subset of messages, I would add a new rule and define a condition like, maybe, “Date • Year less or equal to - 2022”, and then add an Action like, maybe, “Move to Mailbox - Archive”. Note that I do not need to include a condition about the from address, since the smart mailbox is already filtering for that.

Committing and applying that new rule would move all the messages from 2022 and older to my archive folder (not something I really want to do BTW).

Maybe it would help to share a small screenshot? That can be tricky on this email forum, since messages with large attachments get blackholed, but I’m having a hard time envisioning what’s not working for you.
