Description Ryan Sinn 2003-01-10 22:32:33 UTC 
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:
Inbox filters are not automatically applied to a UW Imap Inbox

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Check 'Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this server'
2. Receive new email in the IMAP Inbox
3.

All mail stays in the INBOX.  Running the Filters Manually [Ctrl+V] works fine.

Mail in IMAP Inbox is sorted upon arrival.


How often does this happen? 
All the Time

Additional Information:
I am using the UW IMAP-SSL Daemon

the problem is 1 of the following:

1) you have a mailcheck applet running which screws up filtering
because evo's imap filtering depends on the fact that evo is the first
client to "see" the new messages (ie, we depend on a \Recent flag to
know if it is new or not)

2) your server just plain sucks and isn't sending them to us.

there's already another "bug" saying we should maybe try to work
around this problem, but more likely we will just have to tell people
to setup server-side filters because imap client-side filtering is a
kludge at best no matter what client you use.
