Hi, I am not familiar with afew's source code, but I think your problem
is caused by [InboxFilter]. I think this filter will replace `new` tag
with `inbox` and `unread` tags. So your [Filter.1] doesn't work just
because the message doesn't have `unread` tag. It only has `new` tag.
I guess if you change `tags = -unread` to `tags = -new`, it should work.

One more thing, `tag:new` in `query` part is unnecessary. The code below
should also work.
    query = tag:killed

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Allen Yang
