This is an excellent point.  I don't have this problem so I'm not
familiar with Evo's behavior here.  Are you saying that Evo marks the
messages as unread (by leaving the message summary lines bold, having
them show up as unread in the folder summary window, etc.) but does not
filter them?

If so, I agree that doesn't make sense.  If Evo knows enough to realize
that the messages are new and mark them as such in the message summary
window etc., then why can't it also filter those messages?

This may require some insight from the Evo developers.
