imap filters on incoming mail must be applied before displaying the messages.
Last modified: 2005-11-15 02:22:21 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'.
