I recall creating a message rule to make copies of received messages, but I deleted it because I did not want to deal with the the extra clutter.  Perhaps I should re-implement the rule, and clean the folder periodically -- say, once a week delete everything older than one week. That would save me if the bug occurs in the Inbox folder (the most common use-case).

In my primary incoming account dpchr...@holgerdanske.com, I created a folder "Inbox_log" and a Message Filter rule "Inbox_log":

  Apply filter when:
    Manually Run
    Getting new mail: Filter after Junk Classification
  Match all meesages
  Perform these actions:
    Copy Message to Inbox_log on dpchr...@holgerdanske.com


The rule is ordered after SpamAssassinYes and my manual blacklist, and before rules that move mailing list incoming messages into mailing list folders (debian-u...@lists.debian.com, etc.).


When a new message comes in that is not from a mailing list, the Inbox_log rule seems to work.


When a new message comes in that is from a mailing list, Thunderbird goes into an infinite loop putting copies of the message into the mailing list folder. I needed to disable the rule to break the loop.
