Filtering works not only unreliable, filtering some hundreds or thousands emails a time just wrecks them. See appended hardcopy. These bugs are all longtime known at kde.org and persistent since kmail2. Never understood why kmail was replaced by kmail2 while not being functional. Finally annoyed I switched to evolution. Give it a try ! Works fine in KDE, so thanks to the SuSE guys ! Greets, Peter Am Montag, den 17.06.2013, 17:20 +0100 schrieb ianseeks:

In the early days of Kmail2 I migrated to Thunderbird, as I couldn't get the 'new' Kmail to work.
Time passes, and so yesterday I thought I'd give Kmail another look. It had remembered my IMAP mail server settings, and imported the folder structure, so setting it up was no problem, and it downloaded all the mail.
However, all the new mail was dumped in the Inbox, despite there being a comprehensive set of active filters.
What's more, the filters refuse to work manually, neither with Control-J nor using the right button mouse menu. Did you "Select All emails" (Ctrl-A) before Ctrl-J? Automatic filtering is still unreliable, it produces duplicate emails.
Is this a known bug in the current incarnation of Kmail? I've googled and searched the archives of this list, but failed to find an answer. This bug flip flops between working well enough (not perfect) to not working. I've reported the bug with the work around
My system is described in my sig, but in case that gets stripped, it's
System: Linux 3.7.10-1.4-desktop Distro: openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64) with KDE Development Platform: 4.10.3 "release 559"
Thank you,
Bob Seems like bugs don't have the same priority as new features which i can understand from a developers point of view, its more fun creating new stuff than debugging and fixing. Us non-developers have to be patient.
