This will take time. Depends on the number of filters and messages. Move one of the 'I want you messages' back to the Inbox. Disable all but one filter (the first in the list) and run the filters on the folder. Nothing? Enable the next and run the filters again. Nothing? Repeat. When the message moves and hits the trash the last one is the culprit. At least for *that* message. Try some of the others others. There is another way but it is a little more difficult and it can break your filter file if you mess up. I'll tell you how if you really want but I recommend the first way as the safest. -- David -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
