Phil,
I had the same problem when expunge of a folder would cause an error. I
copied the folder somewhere, renamed the original and then moved the
copy back to the original.
evolution would update the corresponding filter rule, to now contain the
name <folder>.old, which I did not want.
It might be of help to know that the rules are in an xml-file in
~/.evolution/mail/filters.xml, which I can edit and the running
evolution would pick up the changes right away.
Maybe you can just make a copy of filters.xml before you run your
procedure and then restore the copy on top of the falsely updated file.
Hope that helps.
First-off, please don't top-post. It's annoying.
Second, Yes. That really helps. It's not a solution but it certainly is a workaround that I can easily apply. Better yet it will allow me to regularly backup my filters -separate from my entire dump.
Third, thank you.
Phil
