Greetings,

I'm currently contemplating converting from Kmail to Evo 2.0.2, and
after 
having a play I've come up with a few questions;

1. Duplicate messages - currently Evo doesn't provide for the deletion
of 
duplicate messages in a mailbox (not the whole mail account, just one 
folder). Kmail 1.6 allows this, and it was a godsend when converting
from a 
Wintendo environment. Is this a possible addition ?


If I recall correctly, this was considered and not implemented-- it's
not clear that nearly-identical messages can be identified properly
without a lot of processing.

2. Application of filters - currently Evo only allows filters to be
applied on 
incomming or outgoing email. A "manual" option is needed, if not on a
rule by 
rule basis (which would be my personal preference), for all the rules 
currently defined. The reason: many people have their email all comming
in to 
one inbox, like to scan it and read the important stuff BEFORE applying 
filters to move it to relevant mailboxes for storage purposes.

This one does exist: go to whatever folder you want filtered, then press
Ctrl-A (select all), Ctrl-Y (applY filters).

You have to select them all; otherwise it just filters the one message. 
Cheers, a.
