Filters are driving me potty. I belong to a mailing list for Pentax camera owners. 
This list has a lot of messages a day but I am only interested in messages that are 
about my camera, namely a "*ist D" - a stupid name I know.

I have created a virtual folder that looks for any messages for which:

        message source contains *ist d OR
        message source contains *istd

This works really well.

However, what I really want to do, is delete any messages that do not contain these. 
As a first step, I thought that instead of using a virtual folder I would simple move 
all messages meeting the above criteria to another folder. However, having removed the 
virtual folder and create a new filter on the inbox using the same criteria I find I 
get NO matches!!

Why would it work for virtual folders and not normal filters? Surely it is the same 
code? What am I doing that is stupid?

Please help...

(and if anyone would care to tell me instead how to dump any messages that do not meet 
the criteria instead, that would be even better).
