Therefore, it's not true that a message processed by your first filter, would somehow be excluded from other filters. Removing messages from the Inbox doesn't change anything about how the filters work. Also, filters do not necessarily act in any particular order. It's been said or implied that all filters act simultaneously. Thus, the "second" filter can't depend on the results of the "first" filter. If filters were sequential, then including "-label:firstlabel" in your second filter might exclude those messages that were already labeled by your first filter. This might work, or it might not. It never hurts to try. If not, you might need to enumerate everything, for each filter. In other words, your second filter should exclude all of the From: addresses that were identified by your first filter. The other problem might be that messages in the same conversation, might seem to have two labels, when in fact the labels were attached to different messages in the conversation. This gets more clear if you temporarily disable Conversation view. Regards, Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
