The IMAP protocol does not support moving messages as a basic action, it only supports copying. Evo "moves" a message by copying it and marking it for deletion. It doesn't matter if the "move" is manual or via a filter, the same thing happens. The marked message will go away if you expunge the folder (Folder->expunge or Ctrl-E) or do File->Empty Trash. Presumably TB does this automatically, but Evo doesn't. It's not a bug, it's a feature :-) poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
