[Evolution] filters not automatically working? (1.2.2)

[Jules Richardson <julesrichardsonuk yahoo co uk>]

Hiya,

(if someone can point me to a searchable version of the list archives
then please do as I'm sure this has been asked before...)

Anyway I just upgraded the home server to Redhat 9, which ships with
Evolution 1.2.2

I'm using local mail delivery for send and receive of mail, but one
thing I'm finding is that my filters don't work unless I explicitly
apply them by selecting all messages and then selecting to apply filters
(at which point everything works as expected and things get moved to the
right folders)

Is there a way of making filters work on incoming mail without the
manual step - and if this is the way it's supposed to work anyway, any
ideas why it's broken? I've checked the support website and couldn't see
anything relevant; there doesn't appear to be a way of searching the
mailing list archives though. 

(Filters are set on incoming mail, and I'm using local mail delivery for
receiving mail)

cheers

Jules
