Thanks for the feedback. I just tried restarting evolution, and it still doesn't work. On another point, I noticed that the "Ctl + Y" action (Apply Filters) only applies the filter to the particular mail that I have selected. But, I would expect that "Ctl + Y" would apply the filter to the entire folder that I am currently viewing. The reason for this expectation is that it's very frustrating to have to individually click on each individual mail item and repeatedly press "Ctrl + Y" on all of them. It sort of defeats the purpose of having an automatic filter if I have to perform repeated manual steps. In addition, the "Ctl +E" action (Expunge) applies to the entire folder that I am currently viewing, not just the individual mail that I have selected. So the behavior of these two actions--"Ctl +Y" and "Ctl +E"-- are inconsistent with each other. > > > I received some new mail from a mailing list that I have a filter rule > > to move to one of my local folders, but the mail remains in my inbox > > without getting moved. > > > > If I manually select "Appy Filters", then it gets moved properly.
