G'day all, This is to get info to understand why Evolution suddenly changed its behaviour and fix an inconvenience. I am using F8 and Evolution 2.12.3. Normally the Unmatched Search Folder contains only the emails not included in other search folders. Yesterday I created a couple more search folders to catch some new sources of email, but now the Unmatched folder is filled with all emails in all of the On This Computer folders. The Unmatched properties cannot be changed. What did change and how do I correct it?

Shouldn't the Unmatched folder display those from Inbox?

I've just added the location column to the Unmatched folder and now no emails are shown! Yet the top of the side pane shows 167 unread and 3751 total! Inbox is showing 5 unread and 10 total, so the Unmatched is looking now at my storage folders when it used to look at inbox. Yesterday the computer hung and I had to reboot. Perhaps Evo didn't like that. Time for an update or re-install maybe.
