Hi everyone, As a follow-up and to finish this thread, I would like to confirm that the solution to my problem (getting a special sound to play for messages arriving in the inbox of one specific account EXCEPT when they are junk and moved by SpamSieve) was indeed to use a “Spamsieve-Score exists” condition. Benny’s private replies helped me realize that I had misunderstood the logic and mistakenly equated having a SpamSieve score with being junk, which of course is totally wrong, and led me to wrongly use a “Spamsieve-Score does not exist” condition. In fact, EVERY message filtered by SpamSieve gets a score, and messages above a certain threshold get moved to the junk folder automatically.
In order to avoid the sound playing when that account received junk, I had to use a smart mailbox with a “Spamsieve-Score exists” condition, which ONLY plays the sound for messages that stay in the inbox after SpamSieve has done its thing, i.e. it only plays the sound for messages that are not junk (according to SpamSieve), which is what I wanted. So all is well and my problems were primarily due to my misunderstanding of the logic. Thanks as always to Benny for being so helpful on the mailing list and in private.
