Marcus, My experience is the same, except it doesn't work with Ununtu and 2.12.1 nor with SLED and 2.6.0 (Novell). (incidentally, I cant find any difference between Novell's SLED version of 2.6 and Ubuntu's version of 2.12.1 in performance and bugs or lack of them. I found Ubuntu's 2.10 - that came with Feisty -- was buggier than either 2.6 or 2.12.1) And I have made a point of not accessing the mail with another client during this test.

Folks, here's what I did: 1) configured the debug options, according to the email. Closed Evolution (After that, I also run evolution --force-shutdown, to make sure all modules would be reloaded when I started it again); 2) Started Evolution; 3) Created a test message to myself, using a rule to change the subject color and to move to a private folder (in my computer, not on Exchange Server). Nothing happened, and and teh log file was untouched. 4) Selected the message and pressed Ctrl-Y. The message was then moved to the folder and had the subject changed to blue. Checked the log file again and now it recorded messages about applying filters, changing color and moving the message, 5) Checked "Edit-> Preferences-> Mail Accounts-> Reception Options" (or something like that, since I using Portuguese translation), to see if the "Apply filters to new messages..." option was checked. It was. 6) Tested with another rule, and it didn't work, even selecting the message and pressing Ctrl-Y. Deleted all the rules and recreated them. It started to work just like Step 4. 7) Tested the rule with an old message (already opened) and it worked the same way as Step 4, that is, pressing Ctrl-Y while selecting the message. With Ubuntu 7.04 and Evo 2.10 (and Exchange) it wasn't necessary to select the message(s). The annoying thing is that it doesn't generate any (error) messages until I select a message and press Ctrl-Y.

And it used to work perfectly with Ubuntu 7.04. I forgot to mention that I'm using Evo with an Exchange Server. I thought there was something related to my home folder and rights, but I've already checked it. How can I enable some kind of debug, to get more information about the processing of messages and filters?I routinely log filter activity (which is why I know my junk filtering isn't working -- it isn't even being called). The trick is from Jeffrey Steadfast nearly two years ago (search the list archives if want the URL): <quote> All the code necessary for logging filter activity is there, just that there is no UI to enable it (and specify the log file to dump to). You might be able to manually enable it using gconf-editor or something. the keys are: /apps/evolution/mail/filters/log = { true | false } /apps/evolution/mail/filters/logfile = "/path/to/logfile" </quote> I can verify that this works and has proved extremely useful. Just go into gconf-editor and set it up. It still isn't available through the UI though, which is absurd. I'll probably add it to the FAQ. poc
