#c45 stop imap search Wouldn't it be better to indicate IMAP server deficiencies to the user and disable features for problematic users and not punish everyone else with dimished functionality? [ditto #46] > There were other reasons to switch it - e.g., filters that check if a sender is in an address book only work locally How is that a reason? Local filters should run as local filters and not attempt to run as server filters. > or we could figure out how to do hybrid searches, partly locally, partly on the server yes, please #48 > Since I am the admin of my IMAP server That could allow for extensions to manipulate server's EXIM rules [for future messages] > other workaround is to configure your IMAP folders for offline use That's not helpful in an ideal way. #39 > [2007] Isn't IMAP trendy enough for the programmers to make it work? It should be by now as many smart phones default to IMAP -- as android when microsoft ActiceSync is not available.

I created a filter for the warthogs list and it would not move the messages from my inbox to the folder I had created. It also did not put anything into the filter log. I tried using the Thunderbird on Feisty with my laptop and it worked fine when using the same settings. Chris Jones mentioned he also noticed the same or perhaps a similar issue today.
