Instead of recreating rules that you think aren’t working, if you see one that doesn’t get applied, select and highlight the message and right click and choose Apply Rules. If it works, then there is nothing wrong with the rule itself. Right now I have a stack of emails in the Junk folder.
Why is my mail rule not working on my Mac?
If I set up another rule in the same session, Mail will name it something like Rule 528, and the rule will not work at all.

I talked to Apple Support about this, and they didn’t have a clue.
