Description of problem: When (automatically) filtering messages on imap folders (e.g. moving them to local folders or assigning colours) this only works partly. The order of the filters is irrelevant. All messages and their filters are affected from time to time. It just stops working temporarly for new messages and later it works again. Selecting the messages and apply the filters manually (Ctrl+y) will filter the mails correctly everytime which have failed at the automatic filtering. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.8.0-33.0.1.el5 How reproducible: Actual results: It's not really reproducible. Say 30% to 40% of the newly arrived messages won't be filtered automatically. I cannot see any correlation between correctly automatically filtered messages and message the automatic filter failed on. Expected results: All new messages should be filtered correctly. Additional info: I could not find a real equivalent at Gnome's bugzilla. This one is the most similar one: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306107
RHEL 5.2 will re-base Evolution from version 2.8.0 to version 2.12.3. Can you please test whether this bug is still present in RHEL 5.2?
Just tested it with evolution 2.12.3 in Fedora8. The bug is still present there.
Okay, thanks for the update.
