"not" rules in m2 filters

Love M2 as a mail reader. Have about a dozen accounts sync'd to one M2 client and it deals beautifully with them all.

Q: is there a way to put a "not" rule in a filter. For instance, I have a "semispam" folder for all the stuff I get from Amazon, Ebay, and other business I deal with. They don't go in spam because they need to be skimmed to make sure they are not warnings about bounced credit cards or anything like that. The filter has learned over time and is pretty good about putting semispam where it belongs. But recently it has started putting mail from my co-workers there also. I'd like to tell it that any mail with my company name in it does NOT belong in semispam. I see there are OR and AND rules, but I don't see a NOT rule. Thoughts?

Thanks

There are no 'not' rules. But, if you're label has "learn from labeled messages" checked, you can right-click on message that shouldn't be in there and choose "remove from view". That should cause the label to learn that those messages don't belong there.

There's a "does not contain" for each rule that you might find useful though.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

This *might* still be broken though where it doesn't match any messages. So, if it doesn't work, it's probably still broken.

Looks like it still broken. The filter still steals messages that are explicitly forbidden by the "does not contain" rule.

Thanks for trying.
