        Hi,
Andre is right, I forgot of it. There is a little issue with the 
wording, it's not only "The order of filters is important", but also 
"The order of actions is important". I tend to forget of it. The thing 
is that the way filtering works in evolution is that you always change 
attributes of the source message, thus you can for example copy the 
message to one folder and then move it to another, and have different 
message flags in each folder on it (move is "copy & delete").

So to achieve to have the moved message marked as not-junk, you should 
first unset the Junk flag and only then move the message (your filter 
rule has actions in the opposite order).

Nonetheless, this will not tell Bogofilter that the messages are not 
junk automatically. This is designed as a user action (like moving to a
folder and do: Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Shift+J (Edit->Select All followed by 
Message->Mark As->Not Junk).
        Bye,
        Milan
