Thanks for the replies. I have some new results to report. My filters are only working some of the time. Like I said, I have an Inbox setup with IMAP connecting to an NT4 server running MS Exchange. And I have several local folders where the filtered mail is supposed to be moved to.
When I came in to work this morning, only some of the mails got automatically moved to their appropriate local folder, but some of the other mails just stayed in the Inbox. Also, I noticed that when I do a "Ctl+A", "Ctl+Y", and "Ctl+E", not all of the messages get filtered out correctly. But if I individually click on the particular email, and select "Ctrl+Y" and "Ctl+E", then it gets moved to it's proper folder. Are these filtering issues going to be addressed in a new version of Evolution? I am running version 1.2.2 on Red Hat 9. Thanks.
