Ah OK, my mistake, I remembered the old discussion how a message can be "moved" twice from the inbox to another folder and again to another folder, so a "move" is not really a move until all filters are done... I mixed it up. ASK>> To avoid that, I've set up my filters for mailinglists as subfilters. > How complicated. The more straight-forward solution is to *not* check > "continue processing...". None of my filters continues processing. It was just an example how to avoid Davids problem. The subfilter method is not complicated, on the contrary - the message doesn't have to go thru all the filters (for every mailinglist). If the parent condition isn't met, they're simply skipped. And I can collapse the list of all my mailinglist filters in the sorting office, which leaves a much better overview. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) Time is the best teacher; unfortunately, it kills all its students. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.51.10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
