Re: [Evolution] Filters on Folders

[Joseph Phillips <jphillips amphus com>]

Thanks for the replies.  I have some new results to report.

My filters are only working some of the time.  Like I said, I have an
Inbox setup with IMAP connecting to an NT4 server running MS Exchange. 
And I have several local folders where the filtered mail is supposed to
be moved to.

When I came in to work this morning, only some of the mails got
automatically moved to their appropriate local folder, but some of the
other mails just stayed in the Inbox.

Also, I noticed that when I do a "Ctl+A", "Ctl+Y", and "Ctl+E", not all
of the messages get filtered out correctly.  But if I individually click
on the particular email, and select "Ctrl+Y" and "Ctl+E", then it gets
moved to it's proper folder.

Are these filtering issues going to be addressed in a new version of
Evolution?  I am running version 1.2.2 on Red Hat 9.

Thanks.
