            Bug ID: 319289
           Summary: filter rules for incoming messages on pop3 account do
                    not seem to work
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 4.10
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Mail Filter Agent
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: Martin at Lichtvoll.de

On investigating bug #319238 (mail cannot be moved) I thought a filter rule for
incoming mails might be called twice if its active for all accounts. Currently
that is local folders maildir and my main POP3 account.

I thought it would make sense to call the filter just once, after download the
mail via POP3 resource. Thus I just activated the POP3 account. But then the
filters do not seem to work at all, unless I trigger manually with Ctrl+J I get
all incoming mails in inbox. Unfiltered.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a filter rule for a mailinglist (List-Id) and bind it to your POP3
account.
2. Retrieve new mails via POP3.
Actual Results:  
Mails are not filtered unless filtered manually.

Expected Results:  
Mails the pop3 resource downloads are filtered.

Since selecting the mails to filter them manually, seems to work around the
annoying bug #319238, I now let all new mails go to some folder "aaUnfiltered",
then as I disabled spam filter rules (see data loss bug #319226) delete the few
spams policyd-weight lets through manual, and press Ctrl-A and then Ctrl-J to
filter the rest. Whats for inbox I move there manually.

This way, I seem to have reached some stable state to be able to use KDEPIM-2
without downgrading again to KDEPIM-1.

This is Debian Sid, with KDEPIM 4.10.2, Akonadi 1.9.1 and MySQL 5.5.


Another thought: Since even before new mails appeared in inbox before
filtering, may it make sense to just bind the folders to the maildir resource
and not the pop3 account? Honestly, I do not understand how filtering is
supposed to work. In old KMail I didn´t have a maildir resource as a filtering
account and I do not know what it would see as incoming mails.
