The "Edit Mail Filters" page is the only one page in the Sqwebmail

and "Edit Autoreplies" pages. I don't understand why it exists there,
because it's not consistent and ergonomic.
The reason this is done this way is because the user may not want the new
filter to be at the end of the current filters, because it may do the wrong
thing there, and that the new filter belongs way up front.
Or, if the user needs to fix the mail filter, and the fix involves modifying
more than one existing entry, and they must be modified atomicly.
This is why an explicit "commit", or "save" action is needed for mail
filters.
Thank you very much for your explanation! I can understand these
reasons, but I think that there are good for advanced, not regular
users which need a very simple tools. Believe me, that they often
don't remember about saving the changes in their mail filters.
The most of our users have problems with using the Sqwebmail filters,
because in their opinion it's rather hard thing. So they have only
one or two mail filters and moving the new filter from bottom to
top of the filter list is very fast operation which takes only
a few seconds.
Of course, a user can lost any important message in that time,
but what a probability of that is? Probably a very small. I can lost
the messages even if I have "Submit" and "Save all changes" buttons,
because of a mistake in one filter.
Have a nice day!
