[MlMt] Rule will not run automatically?

[Henry Seiden]

Hi Randy,

Yes. I have two issues, both reported via feedback, with Rules including 
the one you noted, =that seem to waiting for a next release. I have 
several rules with issues created for similar purposes. The issues 
reported (via Feedback to Benny):
* Rules seem to run sometimes, not reliably. My workaround was to run 
them manually, check back to see if they run on the requested condition 
(“Due-Received”).
* Rules, once created, cannot be edited further.  This also seems 
intermittent.

I attempted troubleshooting of the issues with Benny but after his 
initial response did not hear further to date. If you can duplicate my 
other issues that would be also appreciated. Copying to the Feedback 
page, just in case.

My use of rules is basically to:
1. Clean up folders’ content (archiving),
2. Delete Junk mail to the Deleted folder pending further removal.
3. Delete old un-needed emails by subject.
4. Delete mail permanently from the deleted folders on a regular basis 
(2 months).

Appending his previous response (06SEP2024) regarding possible solutions 
in the NEXT VERSION r66, as yet unreleased. I do not know if he is 
monitoring the feedback page since that response. Sent further 
troubleshooting info up through 24SEP.

My system: MailMate/6065/282BCB28-893E-51E7-891E-F3272BC540D1 
15.0.0/arm64/MacBookPro18,3/10

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
