Message Filters not run automatically

[ACannell]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

When mail arrives in Inbox, message filter for that folder is not run automatically. Subsequent use of Tools->Run Filters on Folder works OK - filters are applied correctly.

Same happens to me. Althoug tb 5 crashes sometimes when I run the filter manually.

I run thunderbird 5 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.24) Gecko/20100411 Lightning/0.9 Thunderbird/2.0.0.24 Mnenhy/0.7.6.666 on Ubuntu 10.10.

The filter (move all incoming emails from one imap inbox to another imap inbox) even does not show as enable, although in the msgFilterRules.dat it is written:
version="9"
logging="yes"
name="move"
enabled="yes"
type="17"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="imap://...../INBOX"
condition="ALL"

What is wrong? I tried to find a solution for ours.

This just started happening to me on 24.1.0. I was getting some weird folder behavior with IMAP so I deleted everyting out of ~/.thunderbird/abcd5678.default/ImapMail/myserver.com EXCEPT the msgFilterRules.dat file. My folders are fine now. I can run the filters manully, but they never run automatically. Also, when I go to the Message Filters window the checkboxes no longer appear in the Enabled column - it's just blank. I've tried with a fresh msgFilterRules.dat file but the problem persists regardless.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Thunderbird since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that was reported using currently supported versions of Thunderbird and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
