1) Ubuntu 12.04
2) evolution 3.2.3-0ubuntu6
3) I want to create a message rule for a specific sender/recipient address. This can be done with 'Left-click-on-message->Regel anlegen'. OK so far. Now I want to apply the rule I just created. I would expect an action 'Apply rules' or german 'Regeln anwenden' to be found near the 'Regel anlegen' option. This action should be reachable somewhere next to it's sibling. Create - apply. Very closely related, I would expect these interactions to be presented in one place.
4) The option to apply message rules is somewhere else: nope, no left-click-on-messages->apply rules. The required action is located at 'Menu->Nachricht->Filter anwenden'. First, the wording for the same context elements should be distictive and named accordingly. Secondly, the actions for the same context are spread across the menu/context menu, which is bad practice.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Quantal Quetzal. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://
