Title:
  Evolution infinitely filters (and fails to exit)

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Due to some filters, I've set up, evolution stops functioning:

  1) At the bottom it shows two processes (filtering 0%, receiving)
  which do neither succeed nor throw an error. I'm also unable to stop
  them by using the little stop buttons. Just nothing happens, no errors
  on console.

  2) Probably a result from 1): In this condition, evolution is unable
  to quit. Hitting the close button (or menu>quit) results in all the
  GUI beeing grayed out. However, evolution stays in this condition.
  This seems to be caused by the first problem, as evolution always runs
  some processes before actually closing, after these have finished.
  Usually this is less than a second, but due to the infinite running
  processes the job queue doen't clear and evolution waits?

  Why are the filters the problem?

  a) I deactivated several accounts (actually, I have 4 active accounts, 2 pop, 2 imap) round-robin (killall evolution, restarted), but the filtering process remained at 0%, however the infinite receiving process is now gone.
  b) I deactivated all filters - problem gone. Reactivated all my accounts, no problem.

  I'll now try to trace back, which filter is causing the problem and
  report back here.

  Best
