Mac Mail New Rules not working
I have been using rules to filter mail for years and they have worked fine. Recently new rules I create do not work, or they work briefly then stop. For example one new rule searches for a string in the subject line then moves the email to a dedicated folder. (These are usually rules I use to put listserv conversations in dedicated folders.)
I have a number of older rules just like that one--moving to various folders-- they work fine, but the new rules don't.
I've tried these things that don't help:
- Quitting mail and restarting in safe mode
- Selecting all the messages I've received in the last month then choosing "apply rules" to that subset
- Deleting the rule and starting fresh
- Deleting some old rules I don't need anymore in case having too many rules was the problem
Note, my older rules are all working fine; it's the new ones that don't fly.
