For IMAP accounts, for example, the search request is sent to the IMAP server, and it depends on how your IMAP server implements searches. Ditto for news accounts. For local mail folder searches, they are case insensitive. > Do filters search for exact match or partial? Depends on the search type, again. > For example trying to filter a list.

Try entering the search as a search on a generic header, and manually typing in the header's name (From/To/et al). This will now be a generic text search. > Lastly, does the filter only works for incoming mail? What about mail in > the directory already?
