I was quite satisfied with the filters I had set on this account; then
since 3 days ago, they stopped filtering and the messages came directly
to the In Box again. What could be wrong?

I'd guess -- because a similar thing has happened to me -- that something about the incoming messages has changed slightly, and so your filters no longer catch the messages.  (For example, an address changes from < a...@xyz.com> to <a...@mail.xyz.com>, or a subject code for a listserv, e.g. "[Gmail-Users]" changes to "[Gmail_Users]".

Hi Marcia,

APB gave a good answer, so it would be good to know what kind of mail
is not getting filtered. Is it list mail?
