That's not my experience.  I had my main Inbox set to local delivery and
a sym-link from evolution/local/Inbox/mbox to /var/spool/pete (which in
turn was an NFS mount from elsewhere).  Filters were never automatically

If you have a symlink like that, then you're not using local delivery,
you're doing something which you shouldn't be ...

The way you were doing it is actually completely unsupported, and i'm
surprised you didn't lose mail or end up with a corrupted mailbox, as
there is no way for evolution to do proper locking on your spool file.

applied to that inbox - they worked fine manually applied.  I have since
changed to using a Unix mbox spool and the filters are automatically
applied without any problems.  Using a Unix spool is no problem, so I am
happy enough with it - except I would prefer my main inbox to be towards
the top of the Folders list - and AFAICS there is no way to arbitrarily
change the order of the things in that list.

Nup, its just sorted alphabetically ...

About all you can use is the shortcuts bar (you can make it use small
icons), but thats feels clumsy to me.
