Re: Adjusting filters automatically
I have upgraded to 2.9.1 and yet my message filters are still being disabled randomly - sometimes a few, sometime many of them. Since 2.9, however, they no longer get re-directed to the Junk folder. Is this problem still an unfixed bug, or should I be doing some corrective measures such as deleting the elated file[s] and creating new message filters from scratch? There are over 50 filters involved. I would appreciate any suggestions. MC Marisa Ciceran wrote: SeaMonkey 2.9 has not corrected this problem. Does anyone have a clue when it will be done?

I meant to write related, not elated files. They (and I) are far from being elated by this problem, sorry.

Adjusting filters automatically
In addition to the stock folders, I also have a series of custom folders, including: Jobs (complete) Job no. 1 Job no. 2 ... Jobs (in progress) Job no. 5 Job no. 6 ... ABC mailing list ... I have a filter that directs all the ABC mailing list messages to that folder, and while working on job 5, I created a filter that directed any incoming messages from the client or my subs to that subfolder. Everything worked fine. After I finished job 5, I dragged and dropped that subfolder into Jobs (complete), expecting the filter to update automatically. There was no prompt, as there used to be, but it did (I examined the filter specs, and sure enough, it pointed to the new location). What was completely unexpected, though, was that messages for the ABC mailing list were also directed to that folder, so all of a sudden I was seeing dozens of ABC messages in the (relocated) Job no. 5 folder! I examined that filter, and sure enough, it had been modified to point to the Job no. 5 folder. Has anyone else seen this? -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
