But does it import *filters*?
I've become frustrated with kmail's blocking of user activity during filter processing (version 1.5.x) and was considering giving Evolution a go. But I've always balked at having to re-enter all my filters.
Also, does Evolution provide for e-mail list handling on a per folder basis? In kmail, my linux-users folder is configured so that when I create a mail message while in that folder, it is automatically addressed to the group. This is also handy for mailing lists that don't set a reply-to, I can click the ReplyToMailingList button and compose a reply addressed to the list. This is also a reason that I haven't converted to Mozilla Mail at home. While Moz is great at filtering junk mail, it doesn't have good mailing list handling features.
E-mail defaults can be per folder, IMS.
IMS?
I have not seen a way to import filters into Evolution. In fact, I have gotten so tired of this with mail readers in general that I now use procmail to filter my incoming mail. That way it is done once and for all mail readers that can access my mail store. This also helps as my mail is managed on my pc by imap. I can access it via Evolution or web mail reader. I don't want to set up filters in every web mail reader on the planet. So, I do it as each message arrives by procmail. Then Sylpheed (at work), Evolution (at home) and SquirrelMail (abroad) all use IMAP and get 'pre-filtered' mail. None of them have any filter rules.
It is the only way to stay filter sane.
Now *there's* a reason to learn how to filter with procmail. It's always seemed so cryptic to me, and I've never taken the time to try to learn it. Is there a Step on procmail filtering?
