mail rules not working

I keep getting emails from a company I don't want. They are not stopping the source, even though I've asked them, so I am trying to move them to a folder, and send them back to them.


It's a gmail account. I've tried a simple rule of moving it to a folder. That's not working.



it's a very basic rule. Wondering if it's because it's gmail. Anyone know why the rule isn't working?

Thanks, they are not spammers. It's a company that sends me work leads, but they have my old addresses, and it seems they have not removed them, nor added my new address.


Filter emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support doesn't seem to match with my Mail settings.


created another Rule to turn certain emails' background green, and that works.


Wonder if it's gmail.
