If yes is the message you want to filter bigger as you set it in the network receiving under the account configuration ? Thorsten

Ah now I see. I have to check this and set message size to a small value to get every mai= l=20 filtered OK. I thought this was independent from the POP-filters and would only affect t= he=20 message size. At least there is no hint in the GUI to do so and by now I d= id=20 not have to read the handbook. Even there it is a bit hidden... I think this is far from being intuitive POP-filters for every server whic= h=20 is chosen for this _and_ depending on the message size. Of course it makes sense that the POP-filter is not applied to every=20 mail-account but this way it is a bit tricky I'm not a DAU ;-) Maybe you add a little/big hint in POP-filter-dialog that you have to check= =20 that box and set the message size?

I definitely want to second that! Very unintuitive. Logic would prescribe that if the "Filter message if they are greater than ... KB" is NOT checked, that EVERY message would be filtered. That is apparently not the case. Also, apparently this does not apply to (local) mail filters, since these DO seem to work here with the check box unchecked.
