Things are working as they should. Incoming filters are applied during 'message retrieval' (when downloading them from server), that's how and why your messages from other accounts are moved to your main account Inbox. But once moved (or when moving them, manually or with filters) to your main account Inbox there is no 'message retrieval' taking place and Incoming filters in your main account are not applied and can't be triggered. I am sure that if all those messages were retrieved from some mailbox directly to your main account the filters would work. Now, re-filtering is different because what it is doing is getting all message in your main Inbox and checking them against the filters. If I understand correctly what you are trying to do, you can probably achieve it if your copy your main account filters as Common Incoming filters and share them with the other accounts. This way, when your retrieve messages with one of those accounts, those that meet the criteria in the Common filters will be moved to the desired folder instead in your main account instead of just to its Inbox. I haven't tried it but I think it should work. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
