[QUOTE="Ratsima, post: 1834617, member: 402210"] I think that if you apply your rules first, the junk filtering will happen anyway. At least that's my past experience. I found what might be an interesting hint on this Apple Support page: [URL="https://support.apple.com/guide/mail/change-junk-mail-preferences-cpmlprefjunk/mac"]Change Junk Mail preferences in Mail on Mac[/URL] At the top you can select what version of MacOS you have. If you select Catalina, the section called [B]The following types of messages are exempt from junk mail filtering[/B] reads: [B]Don’t filter messages from senders who are in the Contacts app, you’ve previously corresponded with, or know your full name.[/B] But, if you select Mojave, that same section reads: [B]Don’t filter messages from senders you’ve corresponded with, or who know your full name.[/B] Note the absence of "who are in the Contacts app" in the Mojave version. I wonder if this is a subtle admission from Apple that this aspect of Junk mail filtering doesn't actually work in Mojave; exactly what I've observed. [/QUOTE]
