And suddenly, today it fails:

Is there something I can do?

It is a gmx.es account.

Long shot: if this is an IMAP account, the following option on the
INBOX/Folder specification might help:

Yes, it is IMAP.

Loser
   This option makes sense only for IMAP servers that do not
   perform a SEARCH command correctly. If your filtering rules fail
   to filter some messages, that should have been filtered, then
   this option will make Alpine download all data necessary data
   to perform that search. There is a performance penalty when
   using this option. Downloading the data to perform the search
   will take longer than requesting the IMAP server to perform the
   filtering, but the filtering will be done correctly.

AH!

Trying now.

incoming-folders=...
     "imap Gmx L"  {imap.gmx.com/tls/user=myn...@gmx.es/loser}INBOX,


Yes, the filter runs significantly slower, but it runs. Opening the folder seems as fast as always.

I was contemplating as alternative doing the filtering in Thunderbird, where all the messages are cached in local disk,

Huh, sorting by threads (K D) is very slow now (the folder has 3200 posts or so). Minutes.

Ok, I may then define the inbox twice, one using "loser", and another not. One for using the filter, and another for normal use.

Another alternative could be using "imapsync" /somehow/. I haven't yet though out how.


Interesting. I have now:

incoming-folders="...
        "imap Gmx L"  {imap.gmx.com/tls/user=m...@gmx.es}INBOX,
...
        "imap F Gmx L"  {imap.gmx.com/tls/user=m...@gmx.es/loser}INBOX,


And the sorting by threads on the second one is fast.


Wait, things are strange and interesting.


If I restart Alpine, then open first "imap Gmx L" and later "imap F Gmx L", sorting is fast, and filtering fails. On both folders, subsequently.

If then I exit Alpine, then open first "imap F Gmx L" (the loser version), then sorting is slow and filtering works. On both folders, subsequently

It seems Alpine merges the second used configuration of the folder.



I then should create a second Alpine instance, with different configuration file, to use the filter. Do you know if this is possible?
