Try to delete in your replies what you is unnecessary. Read the welcoming mesages regarding quotes. Fullquotes cause most people to not read a posting. I read yours only because I caught my name with one blinking eye. Thanks. To your questions: 1.) An *else* filter is a filter that catches every message that has not been caught by another filter, right? So, make it the last one in the filter list, as the filters are being processed sequentially. 2.) Incoming filters work after download. Therefore, it is not possible to un-download a message by an incoming filter. 3.) Selective download filters download selectively. Maybe you want to check this out. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Matching filter rules for that particular message are no longer sought further down the filter rules list unless: a) the option, 'continue processing with other filters' is enabled in the matching filter rule's options *and* b) the matching filter rule doesn't move the message from the Inbox to another folder.
