[Evolution] spam filter or not to spam filter
When I first start evolution and it fetches new mail from 6 accounts, it seems that often not all new emails are checked for spam. For example, if I later select a bunch of new emails and manually "check for junk" then indeed many of the new emails are flagged as spam. I'm running Evolution 2.6.3 under Debian (seems to happen for both 'etch' and 'unstable') I've had a quick look in /var/log/syslog but nothing jumps out as to why this may be happening. All suggestions welcome. Thanks, Michael ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

If another program or email application has already "seen" the mail, then that mail is no longer "new" according to the IMAP specs, and so since it isn't flagged as "new", Evo doesn't filter it. The "other program" may be another email application or web mail interface, or it may even be a mail notification applet somewhere.

It seems to happen for me when evo learns about new messages while writing inbox state during a shutdown. It doesn't scan those messages for junk (or run any other kind of filter on them) but they're no longer marked as new when evo starts up again. If I don't have my Inbox selected when I shut down, then I don't have the problem, because the inbox had it's state written when I switched folders. Since I rarely shut down evo, and rarely have my inbox selected (most of my mail gets filtered into local folders), it rarely happens to me. I can imagine that, if you start and stop evo a lot, or you mostly work in your inbox, then you'll have this problem a lot. Probably the solution is for evo to either not scan for new messages when shutting down, or do the full filter run on them before actually shutting down. Probably the former, since evo takes a long time to shut down already. Daniel ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

But to clarify, I'm not talking about shutting down Evo at all. I'm talking about (eg) when I first fire it up in the morning. What I seeing is Evo (inc spam filter) running. No other web browsers reading the email. So I would think the unread email is indeed new... so shouldn't it be being filtered? I was wondering if it was spamd that somehow was either timing out or only checking a max number of emails or something like that... but I'm not sure how to check this in order to eliminate that...
