Evolution 3.50.1 (3.50.1-1.fc39)
Fedora 39
Cinnamon Desktop
I noticed that when I create a rule in Evolution, as soon as I hit " OKAY" and then " OKAY" again and try to run the rule, I notice the rule didn’t work, I go back and open up my rules screen, and the rule has DISSAPEARED from out of Evolution.
I just installed Fedora yesterday.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks!
Cannot reproduce, my filter rules don’t just disappear. Please provide clearer instructions, step by step, as a list, with no room for interpretation. Thanks.

Hi,
I tried it here and the message filters are not disappearing here. If I
understand it correctly, you use Edit->Message Filters, where you
choose Incoming type and then add the rule, right?
Could you run Evolution from a terminal and see whether there’s any
error printed in time of clicking the “OK” button in the Message
Filters dialog, please?
Mail filters are stored under ~/.config/evolution/mail/filters.xml ,
maybe check whether your user can access that directory and the file is
writable for it.
Bye,

Right Click > Create > Create Filter rule on Sender
Then I set the rule to either move to a folder
Stop processing rule
Hit Okay
Then I go MESSAGE > APPLY FILTERS
Nothing happens…
I then go to:
Edit > Message filters and the rule isn’t there, so I have to go back and re-create the rule, and it sticks the 2nd time.
Just while ago, I made a dis-regard rule to delete an email, after hitting okay. I clicked on the filter name and hit TOP then okay button, I went to run the rule and nothing happened! I opened my filter list back up, and the filter was BACK AT THE VERY BOTTOM of the list… Very strange!
Thanks,

I am currently running EVO from the terminal…
The only error I got was:
chris@DESKTOP-GO5HDUR:~$ evolution
