Filter on other box then INBOX over imap doesn't work
Last modified: 2014-06-05 16:19:30 UTC
I have alot of imap boxes. Incomming mail gets sorted on the server and is put in the correct mailbox. This means that I use no INBOX but alot of other boxes. I have also defined a spamfilter, this filter is not auto activated by for incomming mail. I always have to do it manually, wich is less then optimal. I have checked the apply filters to new mail in INBOX for this server, but since I doesn't have any INBOX it is quite useless. Please make it possible to define the apply filter option per imap-folder or just make it possible to filter all new incomming mail. A test case here is to make it work when mail is moved to a spamfolder on the imapserver, there is a risk it gets filtered and moved to the spamfoler on the imapserver and get filtered and moved to the spamfolder... ok you get the picture ;-)
This is a very similar request to bug 227536 (Would like to be able to attach filters to specific folders).

There is an option to apply filters in all folders, since 3.something. I do not think this bug is a real duplicate of bug #227536.
