Study your filters carefully. They do not run in serial but in
parallel.
So if a message fits two or more filters two or more actions or copies
of it will come to be.

What? That's not true at all. What happens is that the filters are run
in sequence, but just because one filter applies to a message, that does
not mean that other filters don't. The mail practically "dribbles" down
through all the filters, and whenever a condition is true, the defined
action is taken.

If this is not the desired behavior, one must set a "Stop Processing"
action.

Simple Example:

Filter 1: if message body contains "that", move to folder "that"
Filter 2: if message body contains "email", move to folder "email"

Now if a message comes in that contains the words "that email", filter 1
will apply and move it to "that", and then filter 2 will apply and move
it to "email".

If you don't want 2 to happen, you need to end the conditions in filter
1 with "Stop Processing". This also makes filtering faster

Hi Mario,
Thanks for your feedback and more detailed info !

It is not a filter or rule problem !!
It seems more a behavior problem and perhaps somewhere is a switch
to be set for this !?

But till now I haven't found something !!! 08-)

Cheers, svobi
