Re: [Evolution] Features possible?
go to the Filter dialog and look at the "Expression" drop-down.

It could be hidden behind some "Advanced" button so as not to confuse most people. For most people the simple "any or all" strategy is fine, so it may not be necessary to build a full boolean expression builder in the GUI. If a GUI is what we want, then it may be enough just to have an "OR" button with the ability to reorder and perhaps duplicate the rules in the filter (and vfolder editor). So you have something like: Recipients contains foo Sender contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR Recipients contains foo Sender DOES NOT contain [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Jason. ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

You know, I don't know about the speed issues and difficulty here, but I really like how Mozilla's latest mail client has "Subject or Sender contains". I think that would be the most user-friendly way to do it. Paul ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Actions / Expunge ;-) > * Similar to the above, when I manually move a message to > another folder, can I have it automatically expunged? Not for 1.0, maybe for a future version (there's already bug reports related to this) > * The default search type is "Message contains" but I find > myself 99% of the time using "Sender contains." Is there a > way to change the default? I think the default should probably be Sender Contains, it used to be but then Message Contains got stuffed in there by someone - not really the most useful search to be the default imho. Sender Contains would be a much better default, Subject Contains would be another possibly good runner-up. > > Also, as I begin to use vfolders, I find myself wanting the ability to > do full boolean queries ((a && b) || (c && d), say).

When you empty the trash it will go away.

The gui would have to be obnoxious... One way you can do this now though is to make a vfolder E showing (a && B) and a vfolder F showing (c && d) and then (E || F) should have what you want. -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

It's not quite the same, but as far as behaviour goes, it's certainly good enough. Thanks for the tip.

Is there a > way to change the default? To answer my own question, all I had to do was edit searches.xml and rearrange the order so that "Sender contains" was first. Simple enough!
