Well, as it were I forgot I added Folder is [in box] to older than [1] days and I had set "if any condition is met". So it was because the incoming was going to the inbox the action was triggered. I changed it to "all conditions" instead. So results so far with sound playing as the action are with these conditions and newly sent messages: Folder is [in box] >>> Sound play = Works! and Folder is [in box] & older than [0] days >>> Sound play =Works! Folder is [in box] & older than [1] days >>> Sound doesn't play =Works! These results also mean that most likely my earlier postulated theory that all filter conditions only apply to messages that are incoming from the current connection or that have been selected and with the filters performed from the Mail menu and not for messages that have been fetched already.
