No expert here... As far as I know filtering only works on the Inbox. I
doubt if your NNTP brings in new messages there. Processing rules work
on individual folders or most likely in your case Use/News group
messages. You can set Processing rules to run on Startup, upon entering
a folder or do it manually. However if you don't have a dependable,
speedy Internet connection it can be slow to update upon entering
folders.

Another thing is to set up your Processing rules to run against Unread
messages. Otherwise it will process all messages, even read ones and
can really slow things down.

You can right click on a folder to run Processing rules and a key
combo can set for it too...

Maybe this will help some :)
