I'm trying to figure out where to setup my receive filters.  I get a LOT of list email, and I want filters to move them to specific folders when they are received - before I read them.

From reading the docs, it looks like my filters will only be run on unread email if I either open the new mail folder, or leave it open.  Is there any way to have the filters be run any time a new message is received, so it's immediately put into the proper folder?

Have you tried using the POP3 filter? It should work well for your scenario.

Don't think so, sorry. Perhaps if you access your mail via IMAP rather than POP, so the mail is on the server, you could set up server-side filters through your webmail access?

Looking at things, since Preview mode is pretty much useless, I'd have to have msg list windows open explicitly, so I can probably just leave the new-mail folder open in the background.

It sounds like you need a set of NewMail rules to parcel out the incoming mail into proper folders. Then you just make sure that your Internet SMTP settings check for mail on your server at a frequency that you are happy with.

But those rules will fire only if the New mail folder is open. That's the problem. I wonder why aren't rules fired automatically when new mail has come. That would be so much more convenient...
