Description Michał Gawroński 2009-03-05 21:28:55 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

Please make Kmail to filter incoming mail on imap folders. Ive tried every version of Kmail starting from KDE 4.0.0 beta, and none of them could filter (bogusfilter and manual filters) incoming mail. I know that Kmail has Sieve support for doing this, but most of email servers dont have it.
Evolution and Thunderbird handle incoming imap mail filtering very good, so i dont think this is imposible

Current KMail filters

I still see this bug on KMail 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2) with on current Debian "unstable" (package kmail version 4:4.3.2-1) against an IMAP account. Attached are the portions of my kmailrc which relate to filters.

I've got 30 emails in my Inbox that match the "arocket" filter, some of which have been there for over 2 days. I've got hundreds of emails that will match my spam filter, if it's ever run on them, but wading through this, or selecting all my emails and running the filter manually is getting to be a *real* pain. Especially as the manual filter seems to sometimes stop and not finish processing emails as well.

Turning on the filter log reveals nothing particularly interesting, except for the fact that it seems to run a heck of a lot less frequently than I get incoming emails. Currently (as of 13:48) the last time it ran was 10:20, and it's only run against 5 new emails today, despite me having received well over 50.

Please help; this makes KMail almost totally unusable at the moment. If there's anything I can do, let me know.
