Is it safe to assume that Evolution filters do not apply to any imap accounts? None of my filters work, and I can only assume it is because I use imap. Or is this bugged? Can't say. I would think imap filtering through a mail client is

I have decided to use procmail to filter mail when it arrives. For me it manages courier imap. I think it will do others. This way, you do not need to set filters for each client. procmail does it's thing first and then all imap mail clients see filtered message.

Well, in my case, I'm trying to set colors to certain email messages. Doesn't seem to be working. Another filter I set was to move a message into another folder. That didn't work either. :-(
I have not used mail filters for this purpose, but I have used mail filters on Evolution to move incoming mail to folders on IMAP accounts without trouble. Evolution (like Thunderbird, and I suspect KMail ) merely moves the message from one folder to another, and this does not normally need any special knowledge of the mail server characteristics (nor should it). Evolution does mark the message as deleted in the source folder which requires that you explicitly purge the folder concerned. If this is a mail rule option and it is not working this sounds like either an Evolution bug or a bug in the mail rule. The downside is that the filtering is only applied when the mail client is active, and if you clients with different rule sets results can be a bit unexpected (especially with multiple sessions). (I do use procmail for spam filtering and for a couple of special bits of mail re-direction, but not for folder based sorting as it is more suited to more a static configurations and I find I have to modify folder rules a couple of times a week). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
