[TriLUG] Evolution filtering question

[Jeremy Portzer]

Hmm, I just tried this on a different remote IMAP server, and it worked
the way you mention, leaving the messages read.
It looks to be a problem with the IMAP server of Novell GroupWise, which
is used at $WORK.  I wonder if there's anything I can do about that.

Looks like blaming evolution is a false alarm... but I still need a
solution, any ideas?  Any way to add some kind of additional rule that
would mark the message unread again?  [clicking the "read" indicator on
the message does work, so I know the IMAP server supports that
operation].
