Hello, using filters with action: "move to folder" moves the message into folder without attachments. The original message is still in "All mail" folder with the attachment. But that's not the function of filters to search the message again in another folder... Do anybody know how to fix it? Maybe I set wrongly the filter?

Have you set filter execution to after classification. It usually works to fix these sorts of issues that occur when the body is not fully downloaded when the filter executes.
