GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 248863
Filters aren't able to change labels
Last modified: 2004-09-04 03:09:05 UTC
Description of Problem: I'm using bogofilter. The only way I could find to let Evolution pipe a mail to a command on explicit request was to change its label and issue "apply filters", with some filter reacting to the given label. (As a separate issue, there should be some easier and more direct way. I will file another wishlist item. This would make setting labels unnecessary for training bogofilter but they could be set from filters for other purposes.) Anyway, after the message is processed I don't want it to have this label forever - it's ugly, it was used only to trigger a filter. Unfortunately filters can't set labels (or remove them in this case), so I must remove it manually. This also prevents further automating bogofilter training by moving the message to the spam archive afterwards. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Select Tools/Filters and begin adding a filter. 2. In the list of actions available, look for "set label". Actual Results: There is no "set label" or the like (although it is possible to filter basing on labels). Expected Results: There should be. How often does this happen? Always. Additional Information:
I'm certain this is a duplicate report
still missing in evo-1.5.8.
