Yesterday, your changes broke my email filter which puts libreoffice
user group messages in a specific folder. But then I changed the filter
from looking at "Reply-To:" to "To:" and thought that would suffice.
Now, this morning I got 7 libreoffice messages in my correct folder via
my filter change, and 4 messages direct from members in my main inbox,
which my filter did not catch. Your change may make it easy for you,
but it is a nightmare for me. There is no way I can create filters for
all users who use their address.
Wrong.
In Thunderbird, just use the 'From, To, Cc or Bcc' option...
I make sure the message filter checks if the email address is in any of
the options stated above. It really works, except when someone sends
the reply to the list and to me directly. At that point I get both
messages in the LibreOffice folder based on which list it is part of -
i.e. this list is in the "LibreO - Users Global" folder and the website
list uses "LibreO - Website" folder.
I have been using Thunderbird for many years. The only problem I have
is I cannot save the message filters. When I have a system crash [when
using Windows] and had to reinstall Windows, I had no ability to reload
the message filters as I can with the saved emails and address-book.
When I went from Windows to Ubuntu for my default system, I had to
rebuild the Message Filtering that had several years of "growth" that I
had to rebuild from scratch.

I currently read my emails from only one computer - my Ubuntu 10.04
desktop. If I need to deal with emails on a different computer, I use
my domain/email hosting system's web-mail system. Since I use the
Ubuntu desktop, a Dell laptop running Ubuntu 12.04/MATE and Vista, HP
laptop running XP/pro, an Android tablet, a Ubuntu 10.04 desktop
attached to my HD-TV set for the types of Internet audio/video that my
Blu-ray player cannot do, and a few more desktops running Ubuntu or XP
that are spares or will be given to others who need them and cannot
afford to buy one themselves.
With this mix of system being used for various tasks, I would have a
mess if I tried to read emails on more than one system, even if I could
get a sync system to work properly between the various Windows and
Ubuntu systems.
I currently use a 1 TB and a 2 TB USB external hard drive[s] for backing
up my main Ubuntu desktop [it has the two drives - 1 TB and 2 TB -
installed]. Then I can use these external drives to play AVI and
MPG/MP4 files on my TV via the Blu-ray player or listen to audio books
with the ability to deal with the volume and play/pause controls of the
Blu-ray player and not having to get up out of my comfy chair to do so
with my computer. The down side of this is the USB drives must be
Windows formatted and it takes a long time to defrag/optimize the 2 TB
drive. With 324 GB free space on that drive, it has been over 26 hours
running the Auslogics Disk Defrag software on a Dell laptop - Pentium
Dual core CPU T3200 @ 2.00 GHz, 32-bit Vista, with 3 GB of RAM.
I must keep the drives formatted to Windows systems so the Windows
computers and the Blu-ray player can access them. But that is a small
price to pay for having all my media and data file accessible to all my
computers and media players that can use an external USB drive. It is
much better than having to load up a 32 GB microSD flash card, and use a
USB card reader, to share the file[s] between devices. Much slower as well.
