Hello all,

Sylpheed version 2.2.7 (GTK+ 2.6.10; i686-pc-mingw32)

The statement 'Selecting "Don't Receive" will instruct Sylpheed to not
download messages with that operator.' in the manual seems not to be
true in practice.

I've set up a filter rule that blocks messages coming from a specific
address with the single action "Don't Receive". When such a message
comes, it is received and left on the server. The log of a specially
prepared test shows:

[08:51:26] POP3< +OK Mailbox open, 1 messages
[08:51:26] POP3> STAT
[08:51:26] POP3< +OK 1 1029
[08:51:26] POP3> UIDL
[08:51:26] POP3< +OK Unique-ID listing follows
[08:51:26] POP3> LIST
[08:51:26] POP3< +OK Mailbox scan listing follows
[08:51:26] POP3> RETR 1
[08:51:26] POP3< +OK 1029 octets
[08:51:26] POP3> QUIT
[08:51:26] POP3< +OK Sayonara

By the way, it would be nice to have one more action - "Don't Receive
and Remove".

Cheers,

Jack
