You are using the wrong Filter.

Do *not* filter on To/Cc headers, but use "Source Account" and move to
different folders accordingly. This will *reliably* and 100% accurate
separate your various identities [1]. One filter per identity. This is
not getting complex.

If you use different sub-folders for any account, you even can easily
backup the data in different archive files, as any identity uses a
separate directory on disk.

When replying or sending a mail while being in one folder, Evo will pick
up the correct identity as your From account.


Yes, it could be even more easy if different POP3 accounts would use
different local storage. This is filed as a feature request already.

Anyway, calling multiple instances of the same app to separate
identities is nothing but a crude hack. Recall when and why the
identities "feature" was introduced in Eudora or Netscape Communicator?
To support multiple "identities" (aka users) on systems that don't.


If you want to give Evo a try, good. But most of what I just had to read
was plain wrong.

[1] Yes, this even catches Bcc.
