Example:

I have created a sub folder for my bank (Banking) all mail goes there that is from the banks domain.

After that there is secondary sub folder for card usage receipts, transaction reports; my bank sends me one every time I use my card so I get a ton of these which I don't want to clog up the important mail from the bank, statements, transfers, etc.

I have tried creating a rule for the transaction receipts by subject but this conflicts with the primary rule of the banking folder because they use the domain address. The mail just bounces between the two folders.

How do I create filter a to run on solely on the Banking sub folder to redirect the transaction junk to it's own folder?

"stop filter execution" is at the very bottom of the action list. In the example screen shot, this filter prevents a message that matches from hitting any more filters, and effectively keeps the message in the Inbox. If this action was not taken, then the message might hit a lower filter which would move the message to a folder.

Two different rules for two different issues both based solely on the same domain? You can't do it.

If you want just some message from "domainX" go to a specific folder (filter#2), and all others go to folder "domainX" (filter#1), then you must a) filter#2 must have a match condition like Subject contains "receipt" in addition to "domainX" b) put filter#2 higher in the list of filters above filter#1 AND c) have one of the actions in filter#2 be "stop filter execution".

Essentially, you are tiering the filters.

Thanks Wayne,

Tiering filters filters makes sense but can you explain what point c) is and I do not see that as an option.
