Description Sal Tepedino 2006-10-31 17:47:08 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Connecting to an Exchange 5.5 server using IMAP mode, filters on the inbox are not automatically run. "Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this server" is checked. Incoming mail, once manually selected, and 'ctrl-y' is hit, are filtered as expected and, occasionally, filters -will- automatically run, usually just after a manual filter or an expunge, but never if there is already mail that is not filtered in the inbox.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Wait.
2. New mail fails to be filtered.
3. Select mail and apply filters works as expected.


Actual results:
New mail is not filtered.

Expected results:
New mail should automatically be filtered since "Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this server" is checked.

Does this happen every time?
This happens 99.9% of the time. New mail occasionally filters just after a manual filter or an expunge.

Other information:
I have tried completely deleting and recreating the account in Evolution, but this has had no effect.
Comment 1 tim 2007-03-16 14:40:59 UTC 
same here, but not with a different imap server ...
Comment 2 Lars Strojny 2007-09-18 08:30:44 UTC 
Same here. Version is 2.10.2, remote IMAP server is Zimbra.
Comment 3 tmp 2007-09-19 23:16:40 UTC 
Same here with imap-accounts. If I apply filters manually with <ctrl>y in inbox of imap accounts, mails are moved to correct target folders.
Comment 4 zebthepilot 2007-10-25 07:31:40 UTC 
Version 2.10.3 using gmail imap server. 90% of the time it will not apply filters to imap inbox. ctrl+y works fine and all pop3 accounts work. I have "Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this server" checked.    This is quite annoying and I've found similar reports dating way back on user lists and other distro support lists (I use fedora mostly).
Comment 5 Hrvoje Niksic 2007-11-06 16:17:46 UTC 
I am seeing this bug on 2.12.0 as well.  IMAP server is "Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.5.7638.1".

What must be done to remove the "UNCONFIRMED" status from this bug?  The original report is over a year old now.
