RO Is that as in all of the filters or some of the filters?
RO Just check the conditions to see whether something might be converted
RO badly. And spend some extra time on the filters you're suspecting from
RO misbehavior.

Sorry I wasn't more clear... as far as I can tell, so far it is only
the TBUDL and Spam filters that are not functioning correctly. And,
strangely, some TBUDL message are filtered into their folder, some are
not. The condition for the TBUDL filter is:
Message Source - match - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RO This same checking run could be used to adapt your filters to the
RO possibilities that the NFS offers. For instance, I changed my tbudl
RO filter from the condition:
RO text: Reply-To: *.tbudl@  with regexp enabled
RO to this:
RO   Header Field - Reply-To - contains - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is *without* regex enabled? I will try that, thanks.

BTW, I don't see where I enable or disable regex. The Options tab has
what looks like fewer options too-- or does the content depend on
conditions and actions previously selected?

The non-working spam filter is set up like this:
Message source - match - ^X-Spampal: SPAM
I'll try a few alternates and see if I can get it working again.

Roelof, thank you so much for your quick response. I know a lot of it
is just common sense (lacking here) but I was just a little hesitant
about fiddling with the NFS settings when the filters are such an
important part of my system.

Hello Miguel,

M Most of my filters were converted correctly and are working with no
M problems. I had problems with a few  that used Regex and, although being
M apparently correct, they were not working. Are you using Regex in your
M filters? If so, I would advise to try to change them to not use Regex.
M The NFS has more options for setting up conditions without needing
M Regex.

I have no real understanding of regex so will happily disable it! As I
mentioned to Roelof, it's not immediately apparent where the regex
settings are, but hey, I've got a free afternoon. :-))

Thanks so much, Miguel.
