I meant to make the conditions more specific. My guess is that you check for the sender of the message matching some conditions and nothing else.
And I meant to suggest that you check in your filter whether the message is found in the inbox.

=============

Let me try to explain. I'm talking about an IMAP account where the sorting of new messages to folders is performed by The Bat!, but each of the folders also contains many older, existing messages.

I defined rules to sort new incoming messages to existing folders. The rules include playing a sound in some cases, to alert me to new messages from certain senders. For some reason, The Bat! plays the sound not only for new messages, but for each and every existing message in the destination folder.

I'm not sure what you mean by making the filter more specific, since the filter consists of the two actions (1) move to folder and (2) play sound.

The sound is supposed to be played for each filter execution.
Is it played more often than the filter is excuted?
In that case you've found a bug.

Is the filter executed for each message in the list?
In that case you could try to make the filter more specific, so that it only gets executed for messages being transferred to the folder or something like that.

In an IMAP account, when playing of a distinctive sound is chosen as a filter action, the sound is repeated for each IMAP message in a folder as the folder is synchronized. For a folder containing 2000 messages, this is highly annoying.
