It's not just you. That looks like a definite bug. (Present in current test release 6268)

> I am also looking for any documentation on the filter options - descriptions of what the filter might be or mean: Example -> **"Source -> Path"**

I know of no definitive reference.

Specifically, "Source" is a MailMate constructed URL-like string that looks something like this:

imap://user@imap.host.name/toplevel-folder/more/path/elements/mailboxname

Empirically (based on what the Search interface shows I believe Source->Path is the part from the top-level folder down.


> Any URL's would be great!

https://manual.mailmate-app.com is the only place to start for MM docs, but it isn't as comprehensive as it could be.
