I'm getting my mail in Gmail from base account and four additional accounts, fetched via POP3. For each account Gmail offered (when adding) auto-labelling mechanism, which I used. This seems to be working perfectly only for incoming mail and fails for outgoing mail.
In particular:
- all e-mails received via base or any of these external accounts are correctly labeled,
- mails sent via any of external e-mails are only labelled, when I reply to someone's mail,
- if I start new message and send it, it is not labelled at all,
- mail sent through base
@gmail.comaddress is not labeled correctly in any circumstances.
Here is an example — only replies are correctly labelled, initial e-mails are not:
To "fix" these problems, I have created several Gmail's filters. One even in two copies:
In brings no help.
Is this some kind of bug or by-design and results, that I'm getting are correct? Or am I missing something or doing something wrong? Even if auto-labelling mechanism is intend to work for incoming mail only, then why my filters does not work?

Gmail filters only fire on incoming messages, so this would seem to be working as designed.
