I have a setup that takes google mail through IMAP and a local MH claws repository I have setup filters to copy some messages to various local repositories. The manual filtering works fine, however automatic filtering on receive does not work I have set on the account in the Receive settings: * Filter messages on receiving * Allow filtering using plugins on receiving and * Configuration/Preferences/Display/Summaries enabled I saw that other people mention NNTP Bug#1920, but not for mail.
It works, but only on messages that have not already been filtering. i.e. it works on the inbox.
No, it does not. I gave up on that, My filters were set only on the INBOX. I am using the pre-processing rules to do the job and that's enough for now. Maybe you thought that I am talking about pre-processing? However filtering on incoming messages DO NOT WORK and other people have reported similar issues for NNTP. (Bug#1920) If you don't want to fix it it's OK because there is a work around, but please don't say that the bug is invalid, mark it ass WON'T FIX. Thanks PS. Manual filtering works fine.
It does work on the inbox, it's designed to do that (only), therefore it's INVALID
It does NOT work on the INBOX an you probably know it. It is VALID If you don't want to fix it just say it, don't hide behind words. Don't get me wrong, the product is very good, but complexity is playing trick to the best. I tested pretty well. I have linux and my version 3.8.0 the filter does NOT work. The rules do work. This is my last try. if you close it it will stay closed, but it is not fixed.
Please stop being silly. It is absurd to say "It does NOT work on the INBOX an you probably know it." What reason do you suppose I would have to want to "hide behind words"? Please discuss this further on the users' mailing list (if you want to discuss this further).
