I'm using Apple Mail with IMAP account. I have several filtering rules defined. The problem is that Mail doesn't apply them automatically to incoming email. Even spam isn't filtered automatically.
For all incoming email, every time, I have to select e-mails and select "Apply Rules", and then rules work fine (that one time on selected e-mails only).
It works like this on two separate installs of Mail with different accounts (both IMAP though).
How can I get Mail to apply all rules automatically every time to all e-mails?
I wonder does it ignore rules because of misconfiguation, bug or does Apple seriously expect people to use "Apply Rules" menu item regularly?
The thread seems to be deleted. But on my MacBook with Mavericks the bug is still valid. Any news on this one? – velop – 2015-02-07T11:10:27.070
