Evolution throwing away emails for one of my accounts ?

Nup, not doing that here.  I even disable the Evolution plugins that I'm
not using.  

The filtering was just a few filters for mailing lists which look for a
matching "reply-to" header.  Each filter was just the match rule,
followed by a stop processing instruction.  With about two filters (e.g.
for two mailing lists), it's reasonable.  With about three, it's getting
annoying.  Try and filter from about eight different lists, and it's far
too slow to put up with.

I've seen a few other similar comments about the slowness of filtering
over the years.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
