Jon, as disabling automatic filtering isn't an option for POP3 accounts,
here is another way of accomplishing the same:

Create your filters and let them move your mails. Set up a vFolder, that
contains your "possibly important" mail. That way, you can have all the
mails that would end up in your Inbox without filtering, and read them
just as if they where in your Inbox.

For example, a vFolder "Inbox unread", with all local Mail Folders as
source could display all unread mails -- whether still in your real
Inbox or already sorted.

Another example would be adding another condition to the filter above,
to only show mails that are not older than x hours or days.

vFolders do a great job for sorting all your mails, whether more
detailed than your physical folder tree or less detailed, to aggregate
multiple trees.


Does that solve your issue?

Thanks, Jeff.
