I am still using 1.5.0.12. I still see the behavior where it works on incoming, but not after-the-fact. I see others commenting that this broke with 2.x. Or are they saying that with 2.0 filtering on custom headers no longer works even on incoming?

Also: you say that it is searching on the local db rather than the imap server that has broken it ... why would it not work on the local db?
