I'd like to wholeheartedly throw my hat in with this request -- having to double up the filter conditions just to move mail sent to and received from a certain address to the right folder is really annoying. I've tried using the "Any field contains..." condition but it doesn't seem reliable. Often "Any field contains [EMAIL PROTECTED]" will not activate the filter, whereas "From is [EMAIL PROTECTED]" will. This must really be a simple thing to implement I'd have thought (yes, I know, the non-programmer speaks...) but it would make filters so much neater to use. If I'm filtering all mail from a certain friend (who has 5 different email addresses) into a given folder, the filter to do that has 10 lines of criteria. Just seems wasteful.
