Well, if you didn't check your email for a while the date of the
messages, assuming this is sent date and not received date as that is an
internal PM property, it would be older than one day.
If I make this filter:
x filter incoming
Criteria: Always
Show Warning: message
and put it first in list and then check my messages, then it doesn't
show the warning. But if I make a selection and run it from the menu, it
is shown. I suspect this is also true if any messages arrive to the
folder in question druing the connection. But my theory here is if the
messages was downloaded before, they are not considered by the filter.
When you run it by hand they are, but not during a connection. So far my
theory.
So to get some more info to put this to test, could you please duplicate
your filter, make the original inactive and in the copy set the criteria
only to always. Does that run on your system? If so then also add
Folder is [yourFolderToTest]
Does that run as well?
