Did some reading and I think Im moving back to the older TB as Im not happy with
how filters are applied. I pull all my email to my computer and then use my own
little mail server to serve it up to TB but, the new TB filters based on
accounts. That means doing things in a much different way - not that Im opposed
to different but that is really creating some work rearranging my folders under
accounts instead of all my folders together.

Progress?

1. The filters work like a charm for me - 100% - you might have some
sort of simple error.
2. You can turn off the indexing - go to
edit->preferences->general->advanced and turn it off

After a lot of reading and fiddling around I finally figured out the problem.

I pull mail from several accounts to my computer, put in Maildir and then imap
to that. I set up each of those accounts in my mail client so I can send out
through them to the various emails. Whats happening is, mail is coming in and
its sorted by accounts. Its not how I work though.

I spend yesterday playing with Evolution. Setting up filters is a snap but half
the time when I click on a folder for a subfolder, the tree wouldnt expand.
Today, its like 1 in 12 clicks to get it to expand.

So I guess Im going to have to learn TB3. I installed TB2 yesterday but it acted
up and I didnt want to chance an problems.
