    Emails addressed to "test-group@mie-u.ac.jp" will not go into your "Inbox" but will be sorted under the label "Mailing List".

If multiple filter criteria are matched for a single email, all matching filters will be applied.

For example, if you have a filter that says, "For emails that match the criteria XX, sort to label 1" and another that says, "For emails that match the criteria XX, sort to label 2. If both criteria are met, both filters will be applied and the mail will be sorted to both label 1 and label 2.
