I have a filter that directs all the ABC mailing list messages to that
folder, and while working on job 5, I created a filter that directed any
incoming messages from the client or my subs to that subfolder.
Everything worked fine.
After I finished job 5, I dragged and dropped that subfolder into "Jobs
(complete)," expecting the filter to update automatically. There was no
prompt, as there used to be, but it did (I examined the filter specs,
and sure enough, it pointed to the new location).
What was completely unexpected, though, was that messages for the ABC
mailing list were also directed to that folder, so all of a sudden I was
seeing dozens of ABC messages in the (relocated) Job no. 5 folder! I
examined that filter, and sure enough, it had been modified to point to
the Job no. 5 folder.
Has anyone else seen this?
It turns out it was worse than I thought: EVERY single ONE of the more
than 50 filters I have for that account has been redirected to that
single folder! What a major PITA!
My wife experienced something similar a few days ago (SM 2.8 on an XP
machine); I had it happen a day later (also SM 2.8 on an XP machine).
Somehow, changes in one filter are being applied to other filters. We
have only a few filters each, so the pain was much smaller than yours.
