Evolution has Mutated
Every now and then, I go through my junk folder in Evolution, and check it for any emails that should have got to me.
I’ve just checked it and found that there were more emails that weren’t junk in there than were. It’s been filtering innocuous emails for no apparent reason, including a couple relating to a Job application I was going for (this was the reason I was checking it today, so luckily I spotted it!)
It’s annoying when spam filters get too smart though. It’s things like this that make me start wanting to use fetchmail/procmail, so that only the stuff I want marked as junk gets marked as junk.
Ah well, it’s easy enough to turn off Evolution’s Junk mail filtering.

Maybe you’re applying for a job in a very shady industry and evolution wants to protect you.

That happened to me before, too.
I don’t think we should blame the email programs or the filters for junk mail. We should blame the people behind the jung mail … I have had job-related emails in my junk mail with a googlemail account.
Just wanted to share this thought.

Lucky you, my evolution doesn’t filter junk at all ^^
Anyway, Evolution just sucks and I hope the people at o-hand.com will soon release a “mails” application
