Hi there, I am going to compare this to how Thunderbird (TB) handles the same setup. I am a subscriber to a mythtv list which has subject that starts with [mythtv-users]. So I have a TB filter (which is on IMAP) that states that if the subject contains [mythtv-users], it Must be moved to a folder GMail/MythTV (not GMail/Gmail/MythTV). TB does this without fuss very quickly. The same setup with Evolution creates a loop where Evolution is constantly "Filtering new messages". By this I mean as soon as it reaches 100%, it starts all over again. Now I live in a country where bandwidth is expensive so this concerns me. So even if Evolution actually does one download process, why does it take so long to process. For instance it has taken well over 30 minutes to process 6 messages. TB would have done this in less than 1 minute I suspect. I have set up the options between TB and Evolution to be the same as well. Please help me as I want to move away from TB and use Evolution. System: Debian Lenny/Sid (32-bit)and Evolution 2.22.3.1
This may not directly answer your question, but I think will provide a solution. Let gmail do your filtering. Don't use the client (whether evo or tbird) to filter gmail. Gmail's folders are really virtual based on labels. It handles filtering more efficiently and in a way that is compatible with their virtual nature than the client. It will also save you bandwidth. Also, be aware that a mail item in gmail can have multiple labels, and therefore, appear in multiple folders. Unless in trash or junk, they also appear in All Mail. Keep this in mind when choosing whether to copy or move a message. -- Art Alexion Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. art rhd org Philadelphia, PA 19144 www.rhd.org
