Hi all. I hope this is the right list. Forgive me if it isn't. I'm try to propose a feature change in evolution in one of the most important and powerful features of any mailer - FILTERS.
Rather than the current filter method used by evolution where mail is apparently processed through all filters it matches I would prefer a filter priority method similar to that used in Netscape/Mozilla. Person's I work with who use evolution to send email have been complaining about the filter mechanism where 1 email goes to multiple groups. This can be overcome but that requires excessive rules for each filter. A priority design would be more adequate where an email is processed by the first filter it matches then discarded for another. I also use evolution as my main client and for palm synchronization. I have used it just before the 1.0 stage and believe a priority method is much preferred over any other especially for the casual user and power users will also find it less complicated than it is at current.
