<p dir="auto">Harry, thanks for replying. This is what I have:</p>
<ul>
<li>A folder called “SubjectSenderFilter”. This is a regular folder where I put messages that I want to filter. It has two messages in it:
<ul>
<li>From: “Amazon Subscribe & Save”, Subject: “Review your upcoming delivery”</li>
<li>From: “Robert Wall”, Subject: “Your Invoice”</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>A smart folder with two rules, “All” need to be true:
<ul>
<li>From->Name is in “SubjectSenderFilter” From->Name</li>
<li>Subject is in “SubjectSenderFilter” Subject</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I sent myself a test message:</p>
<p dir="auto">From: “Robert Wall”, Subject: “Review your upcoming delivery”</p>
<p dir="auto">In other words, deliberately using a sender from one message and a subject from another. My smart folder matches my test message, and it shouldn’t.</p>
<p dir="auto">The whole idea of this is that I can throw random messages that I get repeatedly in this folder, so it auto-moves them - but that doesn’t work if I can’t ensure “from” and “subject” are matching the same message.</p>
<p dir="auto">Any thoughts?</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi Robert,</p>
<p dir="auto">The concept you’re going for seems workable with M-M Rules, but I haven’t had reason to do it.</p>
<p dir="auto">The example you give seems to ultimately make a mailbox for a specific “file cabinet” related to three things (all the “AND” statements), so you start with a rule sorting unique subjects and another rule that sorts by sender. These could be separate rules or concatenated ones. The co-dependence issues will determine if you really need multiple folders or not. Seems to me you don’t in MailMate.</p>
<p dir="auto">With those hints, I’ll leave you to it. Good Luck.</p>
<p dir="auto">Respectfully,</p>

<p dir="auto">I basically want to write a rule that says:</p>
<p dir="auto">if (<br>
(subject) is in folder “target” AND<br>
(from) is in folder “target” AND<br>
(subject) and (from) are from the same message<br>
) then (<br>
file (message) in folder “filecabinet”<br>
)</p>
<p dir="auto">So if these two messages are in “target”:</p>
<p dir="auto">From: Bill Jones<br>
Subject: Important Information Regarding Your Account</p>
<p dir="auto">From: Dave Smith<br>
Subject: Your Receipt For Your Recent Transaction</p>
<p dir="auto">and I get another message that matches one of them dead-on:</p>
<p dir="auto">From: Bill Jones<br>
Subject: Important Information Regarding Your Account</p>
<p dir="auto">I want it filed, but a message with a mixed match of subject/from:</p>
<p dir="auto">From: Dave Smith<br>
Subject: Important Information Regarding Your Account</p>
<p dir="auto">shouldn’t automatically be filed, because the matched subject isn’t from the correct sender.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m guessing this isn’t possible, but I wanted to see if anybody has any brilliant ideas. :)</p>
