Steps to reproduce:
- Created automatic filters for mails coming from xxx@yyy.com to move them into a directory XXX/ under my Inbox
- Received a very important email from xxx@yyy.com
- Viewed it in Inbox/XXX/ , marked it as "Important" (red label)
- However, I didn't wanted to miss it, because I don't visit Inbox/XXX very often, so I wanted to have it also in my Inbox, so I selected the email and clicked "Move to Inbox" (I've also tried with "Copy to Inbox")
Actual results:
The email stayed in Inbox/XXX (or disappeared for a few sec, then re-appeared in the Inbox/XXX <- this is indeed the behaviour that helped me understand what was happening)
Expected results:
The email should have stayed in the Inbox, like I asked it to do! Or a warning should have been displayed to help me understand why the message did not move when I asked it to do so.
I can understand what is happening (message is sent to Inbox, but filters are then re-applied, thus message ends up again in Inbox/XXX/), but that would be nice if one could indeed make the "Move/Copy to Inbox function" (definitively) work as expected (idea : mark a message as not susceptible to filters?)

Instead of moving the message where it will be filtered again, create a new folder named Important and move the message there.
Version 68 is also EOL and Thunderbird 78.x.x would allow you to color the folder red.

You probably should tag the message with something special, then make sure the filter excluded messages tagged with that.
