Hi Matt - I don’t think you can use petname in filter folder targets. Try using the full folder spec string for the filter folder. Also, the target folder of a filter folder can only be a single folder, so you need to use a multi folder (*) to merge them before they are filtered. This might work: /(flag:unread|flag:important)/*%inbox:username/clear@imapserver.utoronto.ca:993,.archive Hope that helps. best, Erik
