You should re-consider your priority for this feature. It makes Evo
nearly unusable for people who use IMAP and subscribe to several mailing
lists. Here is a rundown of my email use:
- subscribed to many mailing lists
- depend on email for important business communications
- have email client "automatically check" for new mail so that
business-related messages don't go unnoticed.
- filter out list-related messages so my Inbox should only contain
business mail, and will be quickly noticed when it arrives.
I doubt that the above is an unusual use of email. In fact, I suspect
that it is very common.
Without automatic filtering, the above is not really possible because
the Inbox is always cluttered so always demands attention. I know that
I won't use Evo as long as automatic IMAP filtering is missing.
BTW, was there a specific decision to exclude this functionality? I am
a bit confused, because all other email clients I have used seem to
filter automatically.
