SUMMARY Setting up KMail as replacement for Thunderbird, i found out sender filters were inconsistently applied. After some testing, it appears the "From <end-with>" filter fails to identify a sender address when the sender also has a name. This might also apply to filters on other address fields, as well as <start-with>, <not-start-with> and <not-end-with> filters. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure a filter for matching the end of a sender address. For instance: "From <end-with> @domain.com" 2. Create/Have an email whose sender is defined by address and by name. For instance: "My friend <myFriend@domain.com>" 3. Apply the previous filter to the previous email. - Filter log can be used to confirm whether and how the filter is applied. OBSERVED RESULT The filter fails to match sender address. EXPECTED RESULT The filter matches the sender address, whether the sender has a name or not. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro stable / KDE Plasma X11 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0 Qt Version: 5.14.4 (compiled with 5.14.3) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - If the filter is changed to match "From <end-with> @domain.com>", the filter matches - If the filter is changed to match "From <contains> @domain.com", the filter matches
So it's normal: end-with => search text at the end => if you have blo.com> => you need to search it. So now I can adapt code for remove ">" first before searching. I will do
