Okay, I'll try that, however, the help file reports that new mail filters are not applied to read mail.

Created a general rule:

TYPE-Headers, CONDITION-"F E contains 'Hillary', ACTION-move to 'Evil'

In the NEW MAIL folder drop down box checked "attach folder-close filter set" and selected the rule.

Open new mail folder, open message, reply to message, close new mail folder and ole Hillary stays right there in the new mail folder.

What am I missing?

I really think that the general rule sets will not be applied because the new mail folder isn't a real folder but a view on files with a cnm extensions. 

Create a new mail on open / close filter set, which does work.

Not really following what you mean here.  There is no way to auto move a message from new mail to another folder?

 Thanks for your reply

Just to make sure I understand what you want....

1. Message comes in into the new mail folder
2. you read them there
3. you want them to be automatically moved to another folder.

In that case use the New Mail filtering rules applied on close. And when you are done with the new mail folder, close it and all filter rules will be applied.

If you don't want the messages to stay in the new mail folder at all, just use the new mail filter rules applied on opening the new mail folder.

Yeah, I had it initially setup that way but didn't like bouncing around in the folders to read/reply to the new mail.  Reading them all first and then putting them in the drawers works better.

Thank you sir for the reply.

I have passed on a correction for the help to the beta team. Tks for pointing this out.
