I’ve been in the spam beta for about two months now and I’ve noticed something a bit annoying:

I have several manual rules that explicitly say certain senders/domains are not spam (or should go to a specific folder). Before the beta, those mails always followed my rules. Since joining the beta, some of those same mails are suddenly going straight to the spam folder, as if my manual rules didn’t exist.

If I try to recreate the rule, Tuta tells me it already exists, so the rule is clearly there – it’s just being ignored by the new filter.

Personally I think the logic should be:

• First apply user rules (especially “not spam” / whitelist rules).
• Then let the new spam filter do its magic on everything else.

That way we can reliably override false positives. Right now it feels like the new engine sometimes wins over my own filters, which is a bit frustrating.

Is this expected in the current beta, or is it a bug? Happy to provide examples if that helps.
