Filter Problem

Hi,

On one of my accounts I have an enabled filter for incoming messages consisting of a Tag + Copy + Delete (see screenshot) When a new message arrives, the filter is executed TWICE (see screenshot of the log) , the copied message arrives TWICE at the destination (once tagged, once NOT tagged). In the deleted folder of the source there is only one message.

What might be gong on ? Why is the filter executed twice ?

PS : I also tried Tag + Move instead of Tag + Copy + Delete

Try adding Stop Filter Execution.

Tried it, exactly the same result.

The filter is executed twice including twice the "Stop Filter Execution" forced as the last action independent where I insert it.

Are these two different accounts? If the same account, the messages appear to be shuffled.

Yes, different accounts Incoming message in Account-A-Inbox with the filter-actions towards Account-B-Inbox

I attempted to duplicate this and the filter worked as designed. There appears to be something else involved here. The fact that one copy is NOT tagged indicates it has been copied twice. That is, tagging a tagged message untags it.

Concerning Tagging, that could be the reason why one isn't tagged Remains however why the filter is executed twice for the same incoming message. I have no clue what might be involved
