GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 201815
vFolders do not update unless you expunge in HEAD (March 12)
Last modified: 2009-08-21 03:21:45 UTC
vFolder rules only seem to update when you expunge the vfolder (or at startup). Instead, they should update: at startup, when you expunge, when new mail arrives, when moving or copying mail, and when mail is deleted.
Yes, this is actually a feature. However, another option is to be added to vfolders to allow them to update automatically if you want them to, but not to if you dont, as it can cause performance problems, etc.
This bug was marked RESOLVED without a resolution, which Bugzilla does not allow (and so I am fixing it). It is assumed that the bug was intended to be marked as FIXED. If the bug should have some other resolution, please change its resolution.
