Default OE mail rules-added address not working

The surest way to not make a mistake it to click Reply and copy the address.
Open Message Rules | Click on the Underlined Value at the bottom and paste
it in the Select People field and make sure you click ADD or the address
will not be included in the rule.

As far as a limit, you can have a total of 4,096 entries in Rules and
Blocked Senders combined.

HI,
My husband's email account is set up for one mail rule... from his
address book, but a few new addresses he's added to the "rule" don't
get filtered to the Inbox as all other addresses do.

I've deleted the mail rule and made a fresh one from his address book,
but those new addresses are still going to the deleted folder.

I've wracked my brain... Is there a limit to how many addresses you
can have in a particular mail rule?
What am I missing when we add new addresses?

Thanks,
E.
