Nah. The current behavior is gratuitously annoying: you see "INBOX (3)" 
in the folder tree or shortcut bar, and then you have to click on INBOX 
and it moves the messages. If Evo knows you have three messages in your 
inbox, it should filter them right away. There's a bug filed about this 
already.
