[imapfilter-devel] Problem with logical "not"

[Philippe LeCavalier]

Well, I've now realized all the mistakes I had in the config - and there
were several. But it disappoints me to know that I didn't get a single
sole to help me.

Is this not the appropriate list to ask for help with IMAPfilter?

Sincerely,
Phil
