| Hi:
| 
| How can I restrict filters to only work on INBOX? It will be great to
| have an
| option in filter setting to select which folder you want certain rule to
| apply.
| 
| For instance: I like all my email which arrives in my INBOX with a To:
| imp@lists.horde.org to get collected in a folder called 'IMP'. Well, it
| works
| great when I am sitting in an INBOX folder BUT on the other hand if I am
| sitting
| in a Sent-Mail folder and folder refreshes it moves all my sent-mail
| which I
| sent to:imp@lists.horde.org to IMP folder too.

HEAD doesn't have this problem - it only filters in the INBOX.

Should we backport this to IMP RELENG?  It will change the behavior that 
people may have become familiar with in IMP 3.x, but then again IMHO 
filtering should only work on the INBOX so we probably should change it.

Feedback?

michael
