... please...

I have gone through help and have not yet found info pertaining to the
"Apply filter when:" drop box.

Can anyone direct me to the help on this?

The reason is, I need to figure out the reason that when I click on "Run
Filters on Folder" nothing happens and I believe the answer may be
within this area, do you not think?

If I Am incorrect, please let me know.

Thanks for everyone's input and assistance on this and other topics on
the list..

You'll find it more likely for a filter say for sorting to a folder for
an email address is to choose

From: Contains (not match all) and remove all information to the left of
the @,

If a filter doesn't work click on edit and change the rules maybe switch
to: Reply to or To

Or change match all the following to any of the following.

What specifically do you need to filter?

Phillip... thank you for the response.

I Am filtering emails from various sources into the corresponding
folders I set up. i.e. yoga, fax, lending. personal and clients to name
a few.

I have set up filters by each category named above, then placing the
parameters rather it be subject, from, to, or body.. I use "Match any of
the following" and set to have the messages moved to the appropriate folder.

I Am finding that for messages already in folders, even in the main
folder, when I click on "Tools ->  Run Filters on Folder" nothing
happens, even if I open Message Filter and run individual filters, that
does not work to forward messages to the correct folder.

Any other suggestions or recommendations for this?

TIA...
It works best if you first leave the messages in inbox. Then create the filter to work on inbox. Then choose match any of ... , then select desired folder. the filter should usually be set up to From:

The easiest way is right click,(control click), or click and holds on the from and click on create filter.
