1233059 - [RFE] Notification option for message filters (eg. 'E-mail ... is moved to <folder>.')

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Filters, enhancement)

Description

[u552782]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20151029151421

Steps to reproduce:

I have created several automatical message filter whith several conditions that moves new messages when calling to a different folder.


Actual results:

New messages are moved to different folders like the filter rules. But an important message could be overlooked, becouse it is not in the inbox, but in a different folder, and there is no notification.


Expected results:

It would be nice to add a notification action as another filter action. So that a notification like 'E-mail <subject> from <e-mail adress> is moved to <folder>.' will be showed by executing a filter, if this option is enabled by the user.
It would be best if there is also a reminder funcion: So you can choose between 'OK', 'show e-mail' and 'remember me in <1 hour /1 day etc.>' in the notification window. So the user would be reminded of an imported e-mail, if he wants to.

I think this applies even if no filters are set up in TB, and the messages are sorted by the IMAP server itself.

Case in point: Gmail. If there is a new (unread) message in the inbox, there also is a new (unread) message in the 'All Mail' IMAP folder, and -- at least in Linux (not sure about Windows) -- the user gets two sound notifications instead of just one. Strangely enough, only one popup is show (presumably for the message detected in the Inbox?).
