Just a thought - I was having problems with 1.2.2 and filtering, but
what I was primarily trying to filter was those damn virus emails that
come as huge attachments. Turns out that at least here, with 1.2.2 and
pulling mail down externally to Evolution from a POP mailbox to local
disk (using fetchmail), Evolution will not automatically filter anything
with an attachment.

Plain-text messages work fine with the filtering working automatically
though. Manual application of the filters *does* filter the attachments.
Just a thought, in case all of your messages comes through with an
automatic attachment (company logo, say).

At some point I'll try a later version of Evolution and see if that
fixes it - as I'm down to maybe getting 4 or 5 of those specific virus
mails a day now (rather than the 100+ I used to get) it's one of those
tasks that is less important...
