I migrated from MS OL-2003. Set up TB for POP3 server. I tried setting up
filters (6 of them) some with single task, and others with multiple conditions.
The filters seem to be set, but when I click Run on folder; they do not work at
all. 
The methodology used to work fine with Netscape in the past. But not now.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up filter, run.
2. Edit existing filter (Sender--Contains--*first name/unique*
3. after seeing installation notes, I made files user.js, userCOntent.css , and
userChrome.css in appropriate folders in profile and profile-chrome....


Actual Results:  
Nothing! It did not filter the messages.

Expected Results:  
Filter the mails in the designated folders

Reporter (AG) -- are you still unable to get the filters to work?  I have 
filters defined with Sender, Contains, for POP mail, and they work as expected.
