Description Thomas Cataldo 2002-01-24 14:49:38 UTC
Description of Problem:

imap filters are applied _after_ the message is displayed in INBOX.
So the messages appears first in my INBOX, after several seconds

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. add a filter on incoming mail for an imap account
2. the filter does something like if (some condition) move to another imap
folder
3. 

Actual Results:
I use filters to have a clean INBOX, with only important mails. All the
mails from mailing lists (about 2500 emails a day) are _moved_ to other
folders by filters.

Filters are applied after displaying the headers in the view. The message
is displayed, then its "greyed" out by the filter and copied to the
destination folder. 

At the end I have 2 copies of the email : one deleted in INBOX, and a copy
in the destination folder.

Expected Results:

same result as mozilla filters : the mail never appears in inbox. The mail
is checked, filters are applied, and then evolution fills its views with
the messages.

How often does this happen? 

always.

Additional Information:

Evolution fetch mails automatically every 5 minutes. I never click on 'get
messages'.
