Im using T-Bird with the same filter your mentioning and mine works fine. If your can manually run them but not automatically, make sure there is a check in the enabled column.After much searching on the internet, and reading Rich's post, I finally found the solution, which has made me VERY happy. I can use Thunderbird. It is however, a completely stupid set-up and I am planning on filing a bug with the Thunderbird developers, if someone hasn't beaten me to the punch.

I really do want to use Thunderbird. It has a kind of fun feel to it. But, I have one problem that has to get cleared up first. As everyone recieving this email knows, this is a high volume list. I have a filter to move all of the incoming mail over to a folder called Fedora. The filter works fine, when I manually run the filters, but it does NOT run when new mail is downloaded from my pop account. I had this with the 0.8 installed from the CD's and I'm still experiencing it with the 0.9 rpm I downloaded from Fresh RPMS. Out of curiousity, I downloaded a binary from mozilla, and got the same problem. So, what's wrong with my set-up? Why won't the filters run on the incoming mail?
If I can resolve this, I'll switch to Thunderbird, otherwise I guess I'm stuck with Evolution.
Andrew:
What are your qualifications for the filter? Also, make sure that the filter is enabled or it will not do anything.
When you make a filter you can apply it to your "local folders" OR to an account. The default is to make it apply to "local folders". But, not all filters get auto-run this way. To be sure your filter will be automatically run, you have to assign it to an account. This is fine, but poorly documented. I don't understand why they make the distinction. But, they do.
