Re: [Evolution] Problem with filters

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

you've missed something obvious.

you want to mark the message read first, and then move it to another
folder.

remember that a move is a copy & delete. since the actions apply to the
source message, the mesg is being copied to another folder, then the
original is marked as deleted. after that, you are marking it (the
original mesg) as read.
