  Yeah, I tried that, didn't work.  Like before, I deleted all the
filters, then established new ones from scratch.  Now it's working
correctly.  I would guess there's an underlying link that gets created
that tells the filter rule where the source of the mails are located
it's supposed to filter, i.e, Inbox.  When you recreate from scratch,
you undoubtedly create another link, only this time it's the folder
holding the mail that you make the rule from. ( That sounds clear as
mud...)  A normal rule would link from Inbox.  My new rule will be
linked from Procmail.  At least that's my guess.  But it now working
fine.

Thanks, Jeffrey
Robert
