Sounds like the old SQL issue of greedy expression ie: because there
is a match on the first address evo moves the message so succeeding
filters have nothing to operate on.

How about this approach using virtual folders

Setup virtual folders for each account eg:

acc1
acc2
acc3
acc4
acc5

To have only acc1 but not acc2 you can add an AND rule saying not acc2
in the dialog (would also work for filters)


Then have a virtual folder which doesnt match for all remaining

Used this approach for years

Hope this helps
