What's happened to filters in mozilla-thunderbird 0.8? The menu
I have no problems running filters etc.. Anyone having filter
problems too, please attach more info to: bug #272954.
The problem is that when Thunderbird 0.8 included the one local
folder choice, they disabled the ability to create filters based on a
message. (You can still create a filter by hand and it will work, but
they ability to create filters based on a selected message no longer
works.)
The workaround is to create another account, don't choose the global
inbox and then the create filter based on message works. This is like
the time the mozilla folks dropped postscript printing support fo
xprint, angering a huge portion of the users. I hope the filter
feature returns in the next release.
OK.
I just tested yesterdays nightly (30 sept), and it still had the feature
(not able to create filter from message, able to click "run filters on
folder", but doesn't work).
