User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.72 Safari/537.36 Edg/89.0.774.45

Steps to reproduce:

Thunderbird Beta 87.0b2

I've created message filters. I uninstalled one email account and then reinstalled it, in order to active the account, again.

By installing the account, again, the message filters are deleted.

Expected results:

Is there a way to save my message filters for use in the future ?

The Quickfilters-Addon does what you are requesting very well (at least in its current version).

You can find it here: https://addons.thunderbird.net/de/thunderbird/addon/quickfilters/?src=search

Just realized you use the TB Beta 87.0b2.

A beta version of Quickfilter for the TB Beta 87 can be found here instead: https://github.com/RealRaven2000/quickFilters/issues/49
There might still be a few bugs, but better than nothing i guess?

Yes. But I'll look into the version that may potentially work with 87.0b2.

Thanks !

Should we consider this a duplicate of bug 162295?
