Perhaps a duplicate, but I'm just seeing this for the first time today. One account (gmail) has a filter rule of "From, To, Cc, Bcc" "is in my address book", but it incorrectly matches every email.

Best I can tell, only "From" "is in my address book" works, all the individual items of To, CC, Bcc also don't work correctly.

Examples of other possible filter issues:

  • Bug 1661915 - Message Filter "From" header does not differentiate between name and E-Mail address
  • Bug 1660597 - Message filters open with "invisible" and not actionable form
  • Bug 1656971 - upgrade from 68 to 78 forgets name of address book used in message filter to check sender's existence in it (changed to Personal Address Book)
  • Bug 1661577 - filters not working for address "ends with"
    Walt, can you reproduce?

Wayne,

Are you asking if I can reproduce this bug, or bug 1661577?

Looking at the Wiki post on logging, and not being comfortable with batch files, I don't feel comfortable attempting this bug.

Wayne, do you still see this?

Nightly build 142.
Created a filter that would star a message if there was a match.
I tested sending from an address that matches and the filter worked - the message was starred.
I tested from an address that should not match in the AB and the filter worked - the message was not starred.

Changed filter to star a message if there was not a match.
Not good results - both messages got starred.

I would have noticed this question with a Needinfo ;)
