Description Joshua J. Kugler 2013-10-04 06:59:57 UTC 
I just upgraded 4.11.2 today.

I have four filters, one for each of my POP accounts, that are like this:

Criteria: Size in bytes > 0
Advanced: Apply this filter -> from checked accounts only

Each filter is then configured to set an identity on the e-mail that corresponds to that POP account.

After upgrading today, this filter is rewriting the FROM header of  **ALL** incoming e-mail to be that of the e-mail in the identity.

For example, when I get e-mail from my personal POP account, the filter runs "Set Identity To" the Personal identity, and then all incoming e-mail is FROM "Joshua J. Kugler" <joshua@....com> regardless of who sent the message.

The work-around (and the confirmation) is disabling the filter, and the retrieving messages from the POP account. Then FROM lines will stay correct.
