Comment 32 for bug 9870

For the record, I am running Ubuntu 7.04 on an AMD64 machine, and use Evolution to access mail via IMAP. Spam filtering with Bogofilter only works when a group of messages is selected, and the Message->Check for Junk menu item is chosen. So, it does not check automatically upon receiving new mail. I have also tried to set up filters to do things with new incoming mail, but again, this does not work -- only selecting messages manually, and choosing Message->Apply Filters will cause the filters to be executed on the selected messages. I have tried all combinations of options on the "Receiving Options" account-preferences tab (e.g. "Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this server", which sounds like the right thing), but nothing seems to work.

So, in short, I think that unless this problem (of being able to run filters/check for spam on new incoming messages) is resolved (am I the only one experiencing it?), spam filtering will not work (properly or easily) for Evolution users who have IMAP accounts.
