Re: [Evolution] Filtering Emails.... Why don't they work?

[Richard Bown <richard g8jvm com>]

Hi Chris
I've noticed that unless you select a message for filtering nothing
happens.
If you are filtering messages in a folder, try  CTRL A  then CTRL Y

 (select all then filter selected messages)

I found that EVO filters messages on start up and on new mail on
arrival.
I wonder if this is what is perplexing you ?
