Mine seems to function normally. I'm not processing a buch of mail though.

If you switch to another box and switch back, then those messages are no longer new, they're old, and therefore marked with the "O" tag. This is to distinguish them from read messages.

I was going to post mine, but yours is more complicated than mine as you're using regexps. Yeah, I just pulled mine together from the filtering file in the exim docs. I was looking to make mine a little more robust, so I hope some post their .forward file examples here. Aw, what the heck, here's mine: # Exim filter <<== do not edit or remove this line! if error_message then finish endif if $h_Reply-to: contains "kplug-newbie" then save $home/Mail/IN.KPLUG-Newbie elif $h_Resent-From: contains "debian-user" then save $home/Mail/IN.Debian-User elif $h_Reply-to: contains "kplug-list" then save $home/Mail/IN.KPLUG elif $h_Reply-to: contains "kplug-security" then save $home/Mail/IN.KPLUG-Security elif $h_From: contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and $h_Subject: contains "Fwd:" then save $home/Mail/IN.SBUSD elif $h_From: contains "Linux news daily mailing list" then save $home/Mail/IN.Linux-News else save $home/Mail/IN.BOX endif # --- of .forward file --- Not too fancy.
