Description Pier-Olivier Thibault 2008-11-28 19:43:11 UTC

Version:           trunk (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have 3 IMAP account (2 on Google and 1 with my University) and I recently created 3 different filters that moves some mail in other folders. While this work perfectly well on incoming mail, I wanted to apply my filters to my already existing e-mails.

The mails are not moved at all, they stay in the source folder. I have tried it different ways and it always stays in the folder of origin. 

How to reproduce:
1. Create a new sub-folder on the IMAP ACCOUNT(Not local!)
2. Create a filter
3. Select a mail that would be catch by the filter.
4. Apply the filter
5. Check the destination folder if the mail has moved.

Thanks,

Pier-Olivier Thibault

we fixed a problem about creating a new folder and make a move (filtering) to the new folder *before* closing and re-starting kmail.
Make please a new test now.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
