Re: [Evolution] Mail Filters

[Joseph Tan <j tan bigpond com>]

Hiya Matthew,

OK here is what happens:

1. I create several sub-folders in my inbox (e.g. Evolution Mailing
List, Evolution-Hackers Mailing List, etc..).

2. I create the corresponding filters. I assume these are run as mail is
incoming.

3. I check mail and after they are all downloaded, I find that they are
all stuck in inbox.

4. I do a Ctrl-Y. Nothing happens.

5. I select all 120 mail messages and do a Ctrl-Y. Nothing happens.

FEATURE REQUEST:

1. Also, it would be nice if Evolution could make the incoming mail
visible as soon as it is received. Right now I have to wait until all
the mail messages have been received before I can read any of them. Even
the headers don't appear in inbox. It's a nice feature if you have lots
of mail messages coming down a slow link.

2. A spell checker that could be run by selecting a bit of text and
hitting F7.

Cheers,
Joseph Tan
