Hi folks,
I've noticed since long time ago that all the filters i have preset in thunderbird on CentOs are not automatically being applied as mail arrives. What i use to do is going to Tools->Run Filters on Folders being reading the "Local Folders -> Inbox" folder.
Is there a way to preset it to automatically filter the incomming mail to the corresponding folders? I can remember some time ago it was working ok, but since a mail-store translation from a different machine to this one im having this issue for some accounts/filters only.
$ rpm -q thunderbird thunderbird-1.0.8-1.4.1.centos4
TIA
Jose.

Click on Tools->Message filters.
Is the "enabled" box checked on the affected filters? You may have to go into each non-checked filter and check that the settings under "Perform these actions" are correct. I have found that Tbird forgets these if you move your mail folders around from outside the program and if it finds the folder missing, it will disable the filter.

Yes it's. I have multiple mail accounts and all the filters are placed into the "Local folders" ("Filters for:") instead of by email account, dont know if it's the problem just the way i defined the filters using the "Create Filter From Message" facility,
All of them are checked "enabled" and all of them run on "inbox" folder.
I've also enabled the filter log to see if i have a more detailed info about what is doing,
