Yes, but there still seems to be a bug with this: Evo will apply filters
to new (aka Recent) mail while I am in the INBOX folder. If another
folder is currently selected, evo will register the new mails (the count
on the IMBOX will increase) but will only apply filter to the recent
mails at the moment I actually enter the INBOX.
