Re: [Evolution] Question about filters.

[Jim Macdonald <jimmmac attbi com>]

Hi Guenther

I did what you said and when I got to the last page in tab Receiving
options, I didn't have a "[x] Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on
this server".  I am running Evolution 1.2 which came with RedHat 9.0.
Any ideas?  Thanks for your help.

Jim
