It just sounds like the message was moved and deleted.

Which is what I was trying to say.

But for whatever reason the other cliens aren't honouring the deleted
flag, or it hasn't been sent yet.

No other clients are involved, just Evo, and only a single instance of
Evo is running. I merely wanted to point out that other clients (which I
use occasionally but not at the same time as Evo) never exhibit this
problem, despite using the same mailserver, account setup, and filtering
rules.

This is confusing to say the least, but may also be related to a
phenomenon several people have remarked on: the same message often
appears both in Inbox and in another folder. I mean the *exact same
message*, not a duplicate.

what's that supposed to mean? if it's in 2 folders, how is it not a
duplicate?

What I mean is that it's not a case of the same message being sent twice
to a mailing list, or once to a list and once to my address. It was sent
once, was delivered once by the mail server, and is now present in two
places, I'm guessing because Evo copied it and didn't delete the
original.

 I use a Cyrus IMAP server and both "copies"
of the message refer to a single physical file on Cyrus' database (Cyrus
uses Unix links to make the message appear in several folders).

that's an implementation detail that has nothing to do with evolution...
as far as evolutin is concerned, the 2 messages are not the same object.

Fair enough.

 This is
not a rare ocurrence; it happens to me regularly several times a day,
and only with Evo (I sometimes use Thunderbird, also with filters, and
it never exhibits this behaviour).

sounds like your filters aren't setup properly. maybe you forgot a stop
processing?

No, I didn't forget. The filters simply have "Move to folder" followed
immediately by "Stop processing".

Is this a synchronization problem between several components of Evo? Can
someone fix it?


not a synch problem at all.

But nevertheless a problem. It's happened to me with every version of
Evo since the 1.0 series.
