Scratch that, I found it moments later (after missing the obvious).

Looking at the log, each filtered message takes at least 3 to 4 seconds
to go through.  That's tediously slow.

Compare it to "The Bat!" that I used to use with Windows, years ago,
each message zipped through.  Imagine bending over a deck of cards until
they flip over, flapping between your fingers.  You could hear the hard
drive kerchunking, like that, as each message passed through.

I've, now, spent an hour filtering messages on Evolution that would have
taken seconds on another client (with years old software, and a much
slower PC).

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