@Klaus: no, we are not cherry-picking this fix. On the other hand,
upstream is getting ready to release a new 2.24 base with this fix, and
others. This new 2.24 will be packaged for Intrepid.

@Chris: I guess you are talking about the other impacts from
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552583, not from this bug.

** Description changed:

  1) 8.10
  2) evolution-2.24.2-0ubuntu1
  3) I created a filter based on a mailing list whose action is to move the 
message to a folder on an imap.  When attempting to apply the filter manually 
(via ctrl+y), the filter fails to apply resulting in an error in the status bar.
  4) What is actually happening is that in the filter.xml file the filter is 
not being recorded with the proper account information.  Rather than having the 
proper account id in the uri, the lo...@local account is used instead.  I 
imagine if the requested folder existed in the local folders, the filter would 
not fail, but this is not the case.
  
  Also forgot to mention that I've reported this to bugs.gnome.org
  resulting in bug number
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562708.

+ Latest versions tested:
+ Evo 2.24.2 (Intrepid): impacted
+ Evo 2.24 trunk (soon to be 2.24.3/2.24.2.1): resolved
+ Evo 2.25 trunk (soon to be 2.25.3): resolved
+ 
+ WORKAROUND:
+ 
+ 1. Look at the ~./evolution/mail/filters.xml; the wrongly-created
+ filters has a target URI pointing to lo...@local, instead of the correct
+ IMAP account. Be careful not to change the real local email filters!
+ 
+ 2. Stop Evolution and, on a terminal, issue 'evolution --force-shutdown'
+ 
+ 3. You can find the correct IMAP account by running on a terminal:
+ 
+  gconftool-2 -g /apps/evolution/mail/accounts
+ 
+ Or (if you do not want to browse through all of the output, this:
+ 
+  gconftool-2 -g /apps/evolution/mail/accounts | awk -F '=' '{print $2
+ $3}'
+ 
+ 4. Select the correct account, and edit ~/.evolution/mail/filters.xml,
+ and replace the 'lo...@local' with the correct account strings.
+ 
+ 5. start Evolution again.
