Okay, I'd forgotten that the OP had asked (originally!) about filters (rather than just about (manually) deleting an email). So, you're saying the filters run even when Evolution closes? When I quit evolution (CNTL Q - safer than X on title bar IMHO) then I have [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Fortran/chkSize$ ps -elf | grep -i evo 0 S michael 3900 1 0 75 0 - 16985 stext Jun19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/evolution/2.6/evolution-alarm-notify --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_AlarmNotify_Factory:2.6 --oaf-ior-fd=50 0 S michael 7395 1 0 76 1 - 6863 - 13:21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl -T -w /usr/sbin/spamd --socketpath /home/michael/.evolution/cache/tmp/spamd-socket-path-Sjnp7o --max-children=1 --pidfile /home/michael/.evolution/cache/tmp/spamd-pid-file-Hzkmpo 0 S michael 7556 1 0 76 1 - 6865 - 13:22 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl -T -w /usr/sbin/spamd --socketpath /home/michael/.evolution/cache/tmp/spamd-socket-path-QACfBp --max-children=1 --pidfile /home/michael/.evolution/cache/tmp/spamd-pid-file-VDmwVp (although evolution-data-server-1.6 was there for the initial second after close down). None of these would do this "background" filtering. I've never noticed any filtering going on after I've closed Evo. By "backend" I presume you do mean some Evo-related process on the users' machine?
