Hi Leigh, I'm not sure it's related. I often get the same error message when using Evolution to pull email from my office account remotely via evolution-exchange (or brutus). But I don't try to run filters out of that "remote" inbox. I work at home and on the road a lot and archive my emails on my own machine (many of those emails are press releases useful for background on stories I write). So my filters are set up to run on a local account "On This Computer." When emails appear in the inbox linked to my office account, I merely highlight and drag that office email into my "On This Computer" inbox. Then I put the filters to work "locally," and the work just fine. With best regards, Pete P.S. This approach also keeps the office IT people happy, 'cause they never need to send me a message begging me to clean out my office-email inbox! -- Peter N.
