Un-fortunately, I had a couple of conditions set in the actual filter from previous tests, and in my haste to try your suggestion I overlooked them. This caused many emails to get moved to the destination folder that shouldn't have. I'll have to weed out those inadvertant moves and compare the final count of emails to the count before the re-filter to see if it has gone up. I'll let you know.

I'm going to try your suggestion. However, if this .png makes it through (it's only 4KB), it'll show how the filter is built. Notice the up/down arrows to the right of the box displaying "email address 5". clicking those arrows will move you up or down through all the 127 *actual* addresses entered in the "block". It seems so simple and as I mentioned, a "re-filter" action on the source folder did find 39 of the emails contained in the block of addresses. But only on the first re-filter. Subsequent re-filterings MOVED no more addresses. Even changing the condition ie: SENDER, TEXT, HEADER, MESSAGE SOURCE, or HEADER FIELD had no effect. It never did find any more of the multitude of addresses contained in the block. -- Regards, Jack Central Alabama USA The Bat!

It would be much better that instead of trying to explain what your filter does, or you think it does, that you copied your filter and pasted it here in the list so that we could really look at the filter, and maybe even test it. > I used the block option in the creation of the filter because there were so > many > (about 128) addresses I wanted caught. I don't know how you used the block option unless I do see the filter. Anyway, if you are talking about 128 or so addresses, my own approach would be to put all those addresses in an Address Book Group, say '128ers', and the in the filter condition use: Address groups 128ers contains Sender -- Best regards, Miguel A.
