Apple Mail Rules Don't Work

I am on MacOS Ventura and still can't get Apple Mail rules to work. Is Apple ever going to fix this mess?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.1

Apple Mail Rules not working after macOS Ventura update The Rules I have in Apple Mail are again not automatically running when new emails are downloaded from Mindspring. This is a repeat issue for me and before it was "fixed" when I updated MacOS. Not a fix this time when I downloaded Ventura 13.4! FYI Apple Support and I created a work around! Open Rules, duplicate one of the existing rules, apply it, and all the Rules run, as it should, to scan my inbox. Then all I have to do is delete the "Copy of xx" that I just made. So I am doing this several times a day as I get 300+ emails per day. Lack of rules working automatically creates a forest of ?? This all started about 6/7or8/2023.

Nothing works. Incoming messages from people not in my contacts are supposed to go straight to garbage can. That has never worked for the past 5 or so years.
