Description nanothief 2008-06-12 03:08:15 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I wanted to create a message filter where messages that matched the filter criteria are labeled "Work" and moved to a folder. When the filter is triggered, the filtered message is successfully moved to the correct folder. However, the message isn't labeled after that.

This occurs independently of what order the actions are listed in the Edit Rule dialog

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a filter with any filter criteria, and add actions to move it to a folder, and set the label to Work (or any other label)
2. Receive a message that triggers the filter
3. Check in the folder that the message is to be moved to.


Actual results:
The filtered message is found inside the correct folder, but it remains unlabeled

Expected results:
The filtered message is found inside the correct folder, and is labeled Work

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
After the message is moved to the folder, if I then manually activate the filter (by using Ctrl-Y), the message is then correctly labeled.

Also, I am using gmail imap for the account that the messages have been filtered for.

moving means "copy and then mark original email as deleted".
you have to switch the order - first label, then move.

I tried that, but the same issue occurs eg, if in the actions list the set label action is first then the move action is second, the label is still not applied.

there is a similar bug described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/252503
Comment 4 Sebastien Bacher 2008-07-30 19:22:17 UTC
the ubuntu submitter issue was due to the rules order, still something confusing
