[Evolution] Msg Filters Loosing Destination Folder

[Philippe LeCavalier <support plecavalier com>]

Hi All,

I use message filters (not search folders) to sort incoming mail on an IMAP server in the wild. Several times over the past few years I've made changes (knowingly and unknowingly) to Evo or my system in general, which resulted in Evo loosing the path of the destination folder for ALL my rules. Every time this happens it all starts with me noticing Evo is running something along the lines of "Updating Message filters" and is usually followed by the feeling of despair and a loud sigh on my part. That because it never works. The general rule stays in tact(that's nice) but the path to the destination folder is lost -blanked. In this particular case, I understand that Evo had to erase the path altogether because I had to re-subscribe to all my folder (possibly another issue for another posting...) so if Evo can't see the folder it understandably should remove the seemingly invalid path. The inherent problem with that process is that once I re-subscribe to all my folders and it runs "Updating message filters" again it has no record of said previously set path.

1)
I don't know if my expectations are realistic or even remotely possible but could I not ask (post a bug) to have Evo remember paths before clearing them in the likelihood that the user might need said path?

2)
To be perfectly clear, I can live with the "knowingly" but the "unknowingly" is different. Today this happened  for no apparent reason. Can someone out there help me determine the cause please and pretty please? Hint: it problably starts with the reason why I was unsubscribed to everything but the root, my Inbox.

Hoestly, I'm not certain what is need info-wise to troubleshoot this so here's some info and please ask away for more as required.

-IMAP hosted on WAN, Courier I believe but I could confirmand get exact versioning if it matters
