Running the message filter manually it works fine but if the emails are downloaded via pop3 autmatically an error appears: the folder with that names does not exists and the filter rules will be disabled. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Define a folder name "abc: xyz" 2. Define a filter rule which moves new emails to that folder 3. Wait till the mail client downloads the emails automatically 4. An error appears Actual Results: The filter rule was disabled Expected Results: ;-) Nice question... The mail had been moved to that folder ;-)) I am using the modern theme, nothing else.
