Somewhere during the process of creating custom-header, it would be great to show the message above, i.e., "after creating your custom header and the filter, rebuild the desired folder you choose to run the filter on" then at least, someone like me, won't forget to do this (unless a phone call comes in and I get distracted :-) TB needs better messages in certain situations IMHO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119899 Title: After-the-fact Filters on custom header won't match for IMAP messages Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Message filtering appears to be broken on Thunderbird 2.0.0.4~rc1-0ubuntu1 in Gutsy with IMAP. I created a filter for the warthogs list and it would not move the messages from my inbox to the folder I had created. It also did not put anything into the filter log. I tried using the Thunderbird on Feisty with my laptop and it worked fine when using the same settings. Chris Jones mentioned he also noticed the same or perhaps a similar issue today.
