<p dir="auto">Hey all,</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm in need of assistance. I never really had much need for rules so never explored them further. Today however, I found a wonderful use case for me and I want to use rules to do it, but for some odd reason it's not working as I expect.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Use Case:</strong> Flag an email on mobile/web and have an always on mac with MM running. When MM sees a newly flagged email, it runs a bundle command to add the mail to a task list.</p>
<p dir="auto">From my testing, this isn't working. If I add the rule to the global inbox and trigger apply rules, nothing happens, but if I select the email (or even all emails in inbox) and press apply rules, it works.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Questions</strong></p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Where is the ideal place to add a rule like this? global Inbox or each account's inbox</li>
<li value="2">Is it necessary that the message be selected for rules to be applied to it </li>
<li value="3">If not, how often are rules run</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Thanks,<br>
Pedro</p>
