Re: [Evolution] Multiple filtering nukes messages

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

I just tried creating a filter rule to move all bugzilla messages into
my "bugzilla" imap folder and ran this filter on all messages currently
in my imap "bugzilla" folder and everything worked as it should - ie,
nothing got marked as deleted, no duplicate copies of any messages,
nothing copied out of the bugzilla folder...etc etc

Are you sure you don't have some other filter that is marking messages
as deleted? Because it surely doesn't seem to be the "Move" filter
that's doing it.
