Not a real solution but a potential workaround.  Create a new Folder
"spam" and have filter 4 move to folder "spam".  This would give you a
single source to delete what is probably junk mail and the opportunity
to glance at the contents of the folder to see if there actually is some
legitimate mail.  As an add-on for filter 4 perhaps move to folder spam,
then delete.
