Nup, not doing that here. I even disable the Evolution plugins that I'm not using. The filtering was just a few filters for mailing lists which look for a matching "reply-to" header. Each filter was just the match rule, followed by a stop processing instruction. With about two filters (e.g. for two mailing lists), it's reasonable. With about three, it's getting annoying. Try and filter from about eight different lists, and it's far too slow to put up with. I've seen a few other similar comments about the slowness of filtering over the years. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
