After all when a message triggers an account filter it doesn't trigger any other filters either, unless the triggered filter has 'continue processing ...' enabled.

Not only would slow down automatic sorting, but if your sorting office is anything like mine, it would amount to random distribution as soon as you check every message against every filter.

Suppose you've got the following AB groups: 'twits', 'silly twits', 'very silly twits' and 'security risks' What you want to do is sorting all messages with attachments from any twit sender to a dedicated folder, unless the twit is mentioned as a security hazard. So you create a filter: Condition: Message has attachment and block sender in 'twits' or sender in 'silly twits' or sender in 'very silly twits' end of block and not sender in 'security risks' Action: Move to folder 'Possible funny attachments' Without the block you'd need three filters for this or a filter with a sub-filter, but the latter would complicate the rest of your sorting. Whether the add block function helps you with your problem I wouldn't know. But I don't think it very likely. IMO you should reconstruct your sorting office and when you've got filters that should precedence over all (or some) of your common filters you should place them between your common filters as well, even though they're only relevant for one account, you might even add a condition that they're only triggered when they came in via that special account. (Provided you can identify the receiving account from the headers.) -- Groetjes, Roelof Wait a minute! Strike that! Reverse it.
