If I have time I plan to put together a HOW-TO on this and put it up on my website. But since my time is very limited currently ... it may be a while. :-) Thanks for the long example though. P.S. Evolution development team really should at least increase the size of the expression editor, but a better idea would be to create an expression builder :-) On Wed, 2003-07-16 at 14:01, Thomas Frayne wrote:

So I think what I really need now is a list of tokens/variables/functions that evolution provides in the namespace of the scheme expressions ... For instance, until I looked there I didn't know about: header-ends-with header-contains ${subject} ${recipient} etc....The variables refer to the fields defined by the rest of the xml. Eg, in <code>(match-all (header-contains "From" ${sender}))</code> the ${sender} refers to the: <input type="string" name="sender"/> later on. It just tells the vfolder editor how to put the expression together based on the various fields. You would need to replace it with a literal string in your own expressions. (And if you can't figure out what the string would be, for something like the date filters, etc, just create a vfolder and then look at ~/evolution/vfolders.xml.) -- DanI looked in: /usr/share/evolution/vfoldertypes.xml ~/evolution/vfolders.xml Using a combination of your hints and guesswork, I constructed a simple vfolder with an expression, and then a more complex one. The detailed example is: Rule name: Exp if all criteria are met Expression (match-all (and (or (header-contains "From" "Muller") (header-contains "From" "TomF") (header-contains "From" "Eric") ) (or (header-contains "To" "TomF") (header-contains "Subject" "boolean") (header-contains "Subject" "custom") ) )) Date sent is after 2 days ago Specific folders only vfolder:/home/tom/evolution/vfolder#Tom important recent unread The Exp vfolder displayed all messages from the "Tom important recent unread" vfolder that were sent after 2 days ago, were from one of TomF, Eric, or Muller, and were either to TomF, or had boolean or custom in the subject. Note that Evolution is weak on syntax checking: my first try at a complex expression crashed because of a missing parenthesis. I submitted bug report http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=46463 Also, the vfolder editor has too little space for an expression, so I used gedit to build the expression, and pasted it into the vfolder editor.
