* Filter messages as they arrive like I do kmail?
* Expire messages in folders like I do in kmail?
If someone could point out how to do these 2 things which should be simple enough. I can rid myself totally from kmail and KDE4 which is combersome even on my Dell D630
Thanks, Terry

I don't think Evolution does this directly. I did find a simple work-around described in the first result at the top of the page when I entered "evolution expire" into the Google search bar.

I've tried that, seems like once the messages arrived, I've got to select them and then filter them manually. The object is to organize what's arrived. Evolution does not appear to act on the filters as mail arrives but I will try again.

I'll have to look around then.

Edit->Message Filters. Make sure filtering is enabled under Receiving Options in the Preferences pane.

Since we don't know what you do in Kmail, perhaps you could explain. Evo has no concept of expiring messages. You delete them and some time later expunge the folder. You can expunge automatically on leaving the session.

Read http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#Why_do_my_mail_filters_not_work.3F (and note that the FAQ is available under Help->FAQ).
If filters aren't working, make sure a) you have enabled them, and b) no other mail client is concurrently active on your account. Filters only work on messages with the \Unseen flag (in IMAP).

typically I have folders for my mail lists, so I can "separate the wheat from the chaff" so to speak. I purge the read messages that are > 21 days old from them.

You can set up a Search Folder (or virtual folder) to match on any criteria you like, including age. Once in a while visit the folder and delete everything. This last part is manual as Evo has no concept of scheduling future actions. Note also that the messages will only be marked for deletion. You need to expunge the folder for them to go away. This is a consequence of how IMAP works.

In evoolutions filter messages from lists bY: Message->Create a rule -> filter on Mailing List
