Steps to reproduce:
When there are two or more Thunderbirds open on the same mail account, if the messaging filtering of each client is different, it can cause each email client to attempt to execute a different set of messaging filters on the emails. This may result in same email in one client to get moved to one folder, and then the other client might move it somewhere else. The solution is simple -- provide a cloud location for email filters so each TB for each email is using the same message filters.
Actual results:
It a challenge to keep track of where emails end up because it's very difficult to sync the email messaging filtering of every client for the same email account.
If one client adds or changed a message filter on a work computer it's a pain to remember to update that message filter at home because message filter data has no option to be centralized in the same cloud location for all clients one might use.
Expected results:
Every email client should be using the same (cloud based) message filtering data so emails go to the same location regardless of which clients are open.
Ideally, there might be some need for encrpyting or adding some security measures for cloud based message filters to prevent hacking into message filtering for things like ransom or other nepharious activities..
Ideally, user ought to be able to choose the cloud based resource of their choosing..
