[ubuntu-uk] thunderbird message filter rules
Hi Having made a set of rules for what thunderbird does with mail from different people (move to different folders) this works fine on my desktop, if I want to reproduce the same set of rules on other computers I either have to do this manually (which means when i reinstall something i have to do it all over again). There does not seem to be a save rules option in the dialog box that allows me to create the rules, so is there another way of a) saving these rules b) copy them to another computer as I am using imap then if I create a folder it does this on the server so that folder creation is sync'd so all i need is a way to copy the rules over. Any ideas, if this is not possible how would i go about suggesting this to Mozilla and an idea for later versions.

I know in theory it's possible for it to all work very nicely. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I would have said copy the .mozilla folder but you'll get all the settings inluding logon details.
