I know this isn't exactly "software for Windows."
I'm on too many internal distribution lists, so I'm absolutely buried in email where 95% of it is not meant for me at all. My Gmail account pulls these messages via POP3 from a different mail server.
The filter conditions:
Matches: from
-me) to-me) -{aaaaa OR aaaa OR abbbbbb OR "a bbbbb"}
Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "notme"
(I obfuscated various spellings for my name)
This filter should apply the label "notme" to any message that didn't specifically include me as a recipient and it should also bypass the Inbox (never applying the Inbox label to these messages).
When I use the same terms to perform a search, it works perfectly. The search only returns the messages I do not wish to see in my Inbox.
Still, the filter is not catching them. These messages are burying my Inbox more than ever (as if Gmail recently broke some of my previously-working filters).
I'm going crazy here!
