Re: [Evolution] A few more Evolution quibbles

If you have filters/vfolders that you created *before* changing over to
using CRAM-MD5 authentication, then the filters/vfolders are still
referencing the old account info and that is why you are being prompted
for your old account password (you may not realise that is what is
happening, but iut is). Since your old account no longer exists, you do
not get the option to save the password.

Update your filters/vfolders to use your new account information and all
will be solved. (For all your copy/move filters, just open the file
selector dialog and re-select the folder you want to move/copy to and it
should work).

Since our IMAP implementation is single-threaded (ie, we don't have like
5 connections to the same imap server), we can't easily filter INBOX
while you are currently viewing another folder. IMAP only allows you to
have a single folder open at a time.
