email filter race condition issue

Configuration: two IMAP accounts. Unexpected filter behavior: If a global filter follows a specific filter, both will get applied. Workaround: *not* the specific filter in the global filter pattern that proceeds the specific filter pattern. Questions: Could the *not* in the global filter pattern be automatically handled by the filtering software? Does this warrant filing a bug?

You've got at least two filters trying to move a message. That message can't be in two places at once. Perhaps one should copy and the second one move.

Can you explain what you mean by a global filter? Is that simply your name for the "match all messages" option?

Yes, a "global filter" is simply my name for the "match all messages" option. Sorry if unclear.
