Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux I have filters that sort mail in several folders basing on To: field. The are in form "To" contains "something". These filters do not work when mail is fetched from POP3 server. It started somewhere around 2-3 weeks ago. Before that filters worked. Reproducible: Always
it's broken for me as well. Probably a duplicate of 255388, too.
I can reproduce this with KDE 4.6 beta 1, if the filter is set to apply only for a selected (pop3) account. It works if the filter is set to apply for all accounts.
Another configuration in addition to the one in comment 2 which makes filters for pop3 accounts work/not work is: a) Have your account configured to have the 'target folder' as the standard inbox => filter also work for incoming mail b) Have your account configured to have the 'target folder' as another folder => filter do not work for incoming mail, only when applied manually
Hej, after a quick look at the code I can confirm that automatic filtering won't work if the target folder in the POP3 resource is not the 'INBOX' folder. Thanks for this valuable hint, I hope to find some time soon to fix it. Ciao, Tobias
I know the reason for the bug in comment #2 now as well. The filter manager checks if the filter shall be applied on the new messages inside the inbox folder. However the 'resource' of the new messages is the 'local folders' resource now and the resource configured in the filter config dialog is the pop3 resource. Therefor the mismatch.

Now filter works when we select a target != inbox. So I think that we can close it
