Hi,
I suppose you've restarted evolution after installing that plugin. I
would also run evolution from a terminal, in case it'll show anything
useful there (like the plugin could not be loaded for whatever reason).
If properly installed, the Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->Junk
tab contains at the end a "Junk filtering software" section, where one
can pick from his/her installed junk plugins. If there's only one such
plugin, then it can be hidden and only options for the installed plugin
are shown. Bogofilter has only one options there.
You can check whether the module is properly installed, it's when you
have
module-bogofilter.so in /usr/lib64/evolution/modules/ (maybe a little
different path, depending where your distribution stores these files).
There might be more modules, like module-mail.so.
The module searches for /usr/bin/bogofilter by default (or what the
path had been set during compile time), and when it cannot find it,
then it hides itself. The command can be overwritten in:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.evolution.bogofilter command
(empty string means to use the compile-time default command).
Bye,
Milan
