Description:
Description of Problem:

Not all messages are filtered at arrival in my INBOX, this is very
annoying since I get about 300-500 e-mail's every day. I have configured
filters for moving messages and I also enabled the option that Filters
should be applied at arrival, but most e-mail's are not filtered
therefore littering my inbox. I think e-mail's should be filtered
directly at arrival before displaying the e-mail.

I solve the problem currently by constantly selecting the e-mail's and
then apply filters.

I think Evolution is far better then Outlook and love it, that's why I
take the time to complain ;-)

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Configure IMAP e-mail account and activate apply filters on arrival
feature.
2. Apply to a bussy e-mail list ;-)
3. Create a filter that move the e-mail's to another folder
4. Keep Evolution open within the inbox and you'll notice that the
filter's are rarely applied to email's.

Actual Results:

E-mail's that should be moved are visible in inbox, they should never be
in this folder.

Expected Results:

E-mail's should be moved to destination folder on arrival according to
the filter.

How often does this happen?

Allways it's been consistent thruu the versions, you probably don't
consider it as a bug but rather by design. I would point out that it's
illogicall design if so.

Additional Information:

Evolution is a great product, keep up the good work!

Regards
Michael
