[Evolution] Applying filters automatically

[David Waters <dwaters hep ucl ac uk>]

Hello,

I am new to Evolution, so forgive me if I am repeating a previous
question (I have seen similar things mentioned).

I am using Evolution to read mail on an IMAP server. When Evolution is
running and connected to the server, filters are applied to incoming
messages as I would expect.

However if, for example, I start Evolution with many mails in my Inbox,
the filters are not applied automatically at that point.

What I would like is for filters to be applied to all messages in the
Inbox every "n" minutes for example.

Does anyone know if this is possible ?

Thanks, Dave.
