I'll test out different things, or maybe go with your suggestion to treat it as 
one group, 
as I have not fallen out with anyone. I'm sure you are right, and mix-ups will 
happen.

If you are in both groups and haven't fallen out with anybody, easiest
would be to ignore the split and treat it as still one group.

I would think mix-ups are inevitable with or without automatic 
filtering. If somebody else in the group mixes up, the message they 
send might trigger the wrong filter when it gets to you.

There are several ways this could be achieved. Here's a suggestion,
which I have not tested.

Filter_1 
two conditions:- 
a - the sender is any address in the wider group
b - the recipient contains all (or any) of the addresses that are
only in SubGroup_1  
Action - move all messages to the SubGroup_1 folder. 
 


Filter_2 
two conditions:- 
a - the sender is any address in the wider group
b - the recipient contains all (or any) of the addresses that are
only in SubGroup_2  
Action - move all messages to the SubGroup_2 folder.

Don't delete any filters yet. Just set them to NOT Active.

I  think  I  "spoke"  too  fast and it won't work. I think the move to
action  will  not  work  correctly  for  those who are on both groups,
because the first filter will move them to folder A and the second one
to B. But I am afraid it will not remain in A.

Maybe you will need to create 3 AB groups. A for those who are only in
A, B for those in B and AB for those who are on both.

Then a third filter with condition "Address groups AB contain sender"
And two actions:
Move to folder A
Copy to folder B

Filter  1  in  previous  message  will  not  need to include "Continue
processing..

I will try to test this tomorrow if I have some time.

Thanks very much!

I assume I need to delete all my previous filters for the group?

Yes, it is. The best I can think of is using Address Book Groups.

Create  two  groups  A  and  B. Include in A those in group A and in B
those in group B. And include in A and B those that are on both.

Then use two filters.

1. With Condition: "Address groups A contain sender"
   And action: Move to folder A.
   In  the  Options  for  this filter, select "Continue processing with
   other filters", so the next filter will also be executed.

2. With Condition: "Address groups B contain sender"
   And action: Move to folder B.
   DO NOT select "Continue processing..."

Maybe  it  is  not  the  only  way to achieve what you want, but this
should work.

Email Filter question

[Susanne]

Hello everyone,

  I'm having a tricky situation:
  a group of friends has been emailing each other for years and I have the 
mails from those addresses going into a specific folder.
  Now, a few people have fallen out with each other, and the group is splitting 
into two, with some of the same people being in both groups, and others just in 
one or the other.
  
  How can I filter the messages into two folders, without getting mix-ups?
  
  Is it even possible?
