Art,

AFAIK there is no option to disable filters temporarily. I can think of
some ways to accomplish that, though.

1) If you only have Filters matching "if all criteria are met", you can
simply add a criteria that will never match. Disabled -- but ugly.

2) In any case you can add a special "stop processing" Filter:
If: "Expression" "#t"
Then: "Stop Processing"
Now move any Filter under this "stop processing" Filter and it is
disabled. Just a workaround.


Filters are stored in your ~/evolution/filters.xml file. Plain XML, so I
assume, you can <!-- comment --> them out. Have not tested it, though.
