What I'm trying to do

I have a @krister.ee hosted by mailbox.org. If I get an email it's addressed to either of the 3:

• anything@krister.ee
• My Name anything@krister.ee
• Random Person random@othercompany.com

"Anything" means I've got a catch-all set up.

So I want to create a rule that moves any email not containing krister.ee as a recipient to the spam folder.

How I did it

I create a mail rule and use "Process entire mailbox" to see results:

What I expected

• inbox anything@krister.ee
• inbox My Name anything@krister.ee
• moved Random Person random@othercompany.com

What actually happened

• inbox anything@krister.ee
• moved My Name anything@krister.ee - WRONG
• moved Random Person random@othercompany.com

What else I've tried

• Searching the knowledgebase
• Googling for any tips
• Using "Macthes expression" with negative lookahead regex (btw, there is NO info whatsoever if this field is actually for regex)
• Other combinations of rules

What I think is the bug

Seems to me like the rule matches correctly only if the To field has no name (only email). If there is a Name Infront <of@email.com> then the name is matched, but not email..

Hey! Thanks for filing this—I dug in to this today and it looks like you're definitely right. I think the does not contain expression is currently implemented as any of the To components does not contain , when it should read all of the To components do not contain. So if a name is present, and the name doesn't match while the email does, it returns true.

I'll get this fixed today. 👍 Thanks for the detailed bug report!

Hey! The fix for this shipped in v1.5.4 this afternoon. Mailspring should auto-update in the next few hours and you can also download the update directly from https://getmailspring.com/download. Happy new years!
