GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 310668
spam filter not launched on secondary imap accounts
Last modified: 2008-08-11 08:03:02 UTC
Please describe the problem: This is a long-standing bug, I thought it would be solved, and since it isn't I am reporting it. When you have at least 2 IMAP accounts and you configure them all to check mail at startup and also to check new mail for spam, the new mail received at startup is only checked for spam in the "primary" IMAP account (the default one it seems). In other IMAP accounts new mail received at startup is not checked for spam, which means I have to select dozens of mail messages and do "check for spam" by hand. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
i dont know why this would happen, spam filtering is implemented internally on a per-folder basis, not related to accounts at all.

uh, no. it just means the setting isn't global, it doesn't care which is the "first" imap account, etc.
I confirm that here. I have three IMAP accounts and the SPAM filter is only applied on the two first ones. The third is never filtered. There's also the fact that filters are only applied to INBOX and no other folder. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309945
Based on comment 4 confirming this bug
Yes, after some test, it appears that on 3 accounts, spamfilter only works for the account set as "primary account".
Apparently fixed on evolution 2.8.0. If it's fixed for other people as well, we can close the bug.
Closing as per comment#7, please feel free to reopen the bug if you still face the issue in current stable 2.22.3, thanks.
