Encountered non-working filters after upgrade to FC2 and
evolution-1.5.8-2. Looks a lot like Bugzilla 122009 so added a comment
there. After manually updating a couple of filters by re-specifying
target directory and inspecting .evolution/mail/filters.xml found a
workaround. Edit that file and change all occurrences of
file:///home/<username>/evolution/local
to
email://local@local
then delete all occurrences of /subfolders save, and restart Evolution.
Select all files in the Inbox and type "Ctrl-Y" or select "Apply
Filters" from the menu.
