Using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 When trying to filter a message from a particular domain (tested with the particular filters "careers.cam.ac.uk" and "yahoo") the filter does not move the message. It appears to filter based only on the name, not on the sender's e-mail address. Perhaps adding this as an option, or simply incorporating it into the filter would be good.
Worksforme with apr23 1.0.0 branch (commercial build) win98.
worksforme. Please double-check the From: header on the messages which weren't filtered. Also do a test message to see that filters do indeed take into consideration the email address.

Despite repeating the same procedure, it now worksforme too. I did do a repeat test before submitting the bug, but now cannot get it to go wrong. Sorry to waste your time. Thanks!
