I have found how to filter messages based on my complete Personal Address Book (PAB).

I would like to move all messages where the FROM is in a mailing list _within_ the PAB. For example. I have lists Family Friends Legit Business


I have corresponding folders plus a "other known sender" folder If the FROM is from a sender on the Family list I would like to move the message to the Family folder. If the FROM is from a sender on the Friends list I would like to move the message to the Friends folder.

If from a sender in the PAB but not on one of those lists, put the message in the "other known sender" list.

The issue is use address books not mailing list. There is no limit on the number of address books you can have. With the new all address books checking all of them for something is not an issue.

Using an address book instead of a mailing list allows you to specify the address book name in your filters.
