    Do you use full email addresses in the From contains field?
    From contains (and To contains) can be bit confusing since it requires full email address.
    Unlike Subject or Body contains which only needs string that is inside the Subject line. So From contains has to have full email address and not for example @microsoft.com but user@microsoft.com.
