GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 628498
Forwarded emails via built in filter mechanism sit in outbox until Send is invoked

Setup a filter to forward incoming emails that meet match criteria. Emails that meet criteria are forwarded in the sense that they end up in the Outbox; but they sit there until an explicit Send is invoked. My expectation is that the email would get sent as part of the forwarding action.
I seem to recall discussing this on another bug (search whiteboard field for evolution[filters]). The desire is to send after filtering is complete rather than for each and every forwarded message, but I guess there's no way for the current filtering logic to indicate when it's done.
There is a hidden option for this, see bug #611100 for more information. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 611100 ***
