And rightly so, too.
I never said it wasn't logical, Tony =) I was just trying to give Volker a few clues to resolving the problem with his sysadmin. Actually, I think it would be preferable if Evolution used a different method for determining the "newness" of messages. For the average user with a single installation of their email software, the current method works fine. But for anyone who views their mail in more than one way, or uses mail pre-processing software which talks directly to the IMAP server, this makes the filtering system very clunky and it doesn't "just work". Evolution obviously is firing some sort of new_message event when it becomes aware of a message which has been added to the Inbox. I think that event should trigger the filter action as well, regardless of the message's "seen" status. This is already what happens if you move a message into your Inbox (ever try to move a message which was already moved by an automatic filter, back into the Inbox?!). > What Lotus Domino does is up to Lotus Domino.

For the sake of next year's travel budget, I *wish* a � was less than a $, but I'm afraid that ain't going to be true for a while, if ever! ;) Eric -- Eric Lambart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
