Re: Filters in Balsa 1.3.1

Manu,

I am using Balsa to retrieve mail from a non-pop3 mailbox, i.e., 
/var/spool/mail.  If it would help, I can export one of the filters and 
send it to you as an attachment, however from your comments it looks 
like the filters just aren't programmed to work with non-pop3 mailboxes.

You mentioned that it is possible to use the filters directly on your 
Inbox after the mails are retrieved.  How do you do this?  I do not see 
a command, like "Filter mail" or "Run filters", but I am probably 
missing something obvious.
