• Gmail Filter Not Filtering
    4 replies, posted
So I use my Gmail to backup my SMS with [url= "https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result"]SMS Backup +[/url] on my Smasung Galaxy S. I tell SMS Backup to apply the label SMS to those messages. Then, I have Gmail filters for my three main friends. with [email]xxxxxxxxxx@unknown.email[/email] (thats what Gmail says the email is). So, I test the filter, and it works. The problem is, once it starts a new thread, it doesn't apply the label automatically on new threads (every 100 messages). But, if I go to edit the filter, [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11419652/Gmail.png[/img] and it does a search, it comes up as something that should be labeled. So why doesn't gmail apply my filters on new threads unless I do it manually?
I'm guessing it has something to do with the nonstandard email address.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;30111600]I'm guessing it has something to do with the nonstandard email address.[/QUOTE] Yeah but it does it if you edit the filter. Also, it shouldn't make a difference since it is just matching strings and doing something if the condition is met.
Do wildcards work? try xxxxxxxxxx@* or something like that.
Nope doing @* doesn't work but just the number xxxxxxxxxx filters. but only if you do it manually. It just won't do it automatically :sigh:
