Description Johannes Berg 2001-10-11 14:41:58 UTC 
When creating a filter I can match by from: address.
However, it is impractical to add all people who are in a contacts folder
to the filter, therefore I'd love being able to filter by from address
matching a person in the contacts folder X (including secondary addresses
etc) to go into a specific folder.

:-)

This would be really nice.
Comment 2 Alan Conway 2002-09-11 17:02:44 UTC 
I third this - another useful and similar feature would be able to
filter  based on address-book lists but I'd put this at a lower priority.

I used this in my former life with Eudora - it's the *only* effective
way to filter junk mail I've ever found.

This is not really a duplicate of 20739; that bug is requesting an
*addressbook* filter based on ldap.  What we are asking for here is
the capability to build a *mail folder* filter based on what's in
addressbook folder(s).
