Hello, the filter criteria has not changed since years and is very simple.

If "X-Cron-Env" contains "<SHELL" then move to Folder "Cron". Which is the case
in all CRON-Jobs.
Spamassassin Filter: If "X-Spam-Flag" = "Yes" then move to Folder "Spam".

I get ~20 messages per hour. When I receive them from the mailbox it may be 200
or 400 messages. Sometime 20 oder 30 are not filtered sometimes more sometimes
less.

Yes I have a Log-Viewer put it is not always willing to show up. In the moment
it is very unwilling and not cooperative. :-(  Upps now it is up. You have to
be pationed. 8 GB and six cores are not so much power. It can take some minutes
to start. I would like to send you the log file. But the "Save as", "Clear" or
"Abort" buttons are also not so cooperative. Maybe they will do something in
ten minutes, an hour or two. Or maybe next year? Can you wait? Are the scoll
bars are on holiday?

The filter works on some incoming messages and on some not. It works by hand
under special circumstances. That is selecting not all massages - which I do by
searching for "CRON". Applying all filters to all messages Control-A Control-J
does nothing but reports that "n of m discussion groups are updated. (I am
using German version so English message may be a bit different.) A lot reports
are "0 von 0 Diskussiongruppen wurden aktualisiert". In some cases n and m are
increased and m is running ahead of n. Why does kamail2 not know at start how
many messages are to filter. I had not figured out, what "Diskussionsgruppen"
mean. Never defined such things.

Wow. After several minutes. The log-Viewer is running really fast and it seems
that "save as" works now. You have to be patient. But it hangs in the file
selection dialog. As I mentioned above me PC is not so powerful. Uh, not the
file dialog has closed.But the log viewer is a little bit sleepy.

It had saved the log in kmail-filter.html (1 MByte) - big deal - but now it is
a bit stressed after the work. I thing it has retired. - Uh, it wants to save
the file again but the confirmation window for overwriting the old file is
empty and doesn't react. Upps - after some minutes it shows its question.

Oh! How wonderful now the CRON-Jobs an other messages are moved to the right
folder. After nearly six hours all messages are sorted! 

Never saw such a poor program. How was the trick done?

Have a good night.
