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
