Nope, they are correct.

Expunging would be useless, while not displaying deleted mails (View /
Hide deleted Messages) and only working on the selected ones. ;)

The Actions / Apply Filter claims to just do this: Work on the selected
messages. Please see the status message at the bottom of the Evolution
window for both of them.


To not have to select all messages individually, use Ctrl-A Ctrl-Y
(select all, apply filters).


Anyway, applying filters manually should not be necessary at all. Dunno,
why it does not work for you...
