Ximian Evolution 1.2.2 (1.2.2-5) 
        Thanks for the replies.  I have some new results to report.
        
        My filters are only working some of the time.  Like I said, I
        have an
        Inbox setup with IMAP connecting to an NT4 server running MS
        Exchange. 
        And I have several local folders where the filtered mail is
        supposed to
        be moved to.
        
        When I came in to work this morning, only some of the mails got
        automatically moved to their appropriate local folder, but some
        of the
        other mails just stayed in the Inbox.
        
        Also, I noticed that when I do a "Ctl+A", "Ctl+Y", and "Ctl+E",
        not all
        of the messages get filtered out correctly.  But if I
        individually click
        on the particular email, and select "Ctrl+Y" and "Ctl+E", then
        it gets
        moved to it's proper folder.
        
        Are these filtering issues going to be addressed in a new
        version of
        Evolution?  I am running version 1.2.2 on Red Hat 9.
        
        Thanks.
