I confirm this bug, occuring when several filters are selected to launch a
manual filtering.

You can use the menu item Tools|Run Filters on Selected Folder to accomplish this.

'Tools|Run Filters on Selected Folder' works for 'All Filters' but when I 
select only a few filters (and not all) I have the same problem (no messages 
are filtered) and I can't find a workaround for this problem.

mass re-assign.

I just tried to replicate this problem with 1.6b and found that, with two 
filters selected, one was run (on the Sent box).  Running each filter 
individually worked.

I'm using 1.7 Beta and have the following issues with Message Filters:

- Running Tools->"Run Filters on Folder" has no effect on any of my folders
- Running Message Filters->Select one filter then "Run Now" has not effect on 
the folder
- Running Message Filters->Select multiple filters then "Run Now" has not 
effect on the folder

However, When mail is uploaded from IMAP the filters are run successfully on 
the InBox.

It isn't neccesssary to select several filters, with Mozilla 1.7.2, the bugs are
what Greg commented in comment #6 (I add the bug number that have been entered
for those problems)

- Running Tools->"Run Filters on Folder" has no effect on any of my folders (bug
#253368)
- Running Message Filters->Select one filter then "Run Now" has not effect on 
the folder (bug #252041)
- Running Message Filters->Select multiple filters then "Run Now" has not 
effect on the folder
- No filtered subfolders (bug #257415)

So, with all these problems with filters and IMAP, has somebody at Mozilla had a
look at them? ;-)

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

Michael, this problem is not IMAP-specific, and it is in fact about having 
multiple filters selected and "Run now."  Still a problem with POP in 1.7.2, 
I just checked.

Greg Cook, you might look at the bugs Michael referred to in comment 7.

Tweaking text in summary to match the dialog.

This was mistakenly posted to bug 201244. There seem to be other reports relavent to this bug, 180239, posted under bug 201244.


Under XP, Thunderbird 1.5.

By hand, I moved a single email from a Local Folders folder named
"!Spam_Delete" to the filters' account's Inbox.

The first two filters in the rules check whether the header,
"X-tagged-for-folder" is "!Spam" or "!Spam_Delete", respectively. The filters
move the email to the Local Folders folder of that name. Here is a copy of the
top of the msgFilterRules.dat file:

version="8"
logging="no"
name="Spam"
enabled="yes"
type="1"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/%21Spam"
condition="OR (\"X-tagged-for-folder\",is,!Spam)"
name="Spam_Delete"
enabled="yes"
type="1"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/%21Spam_Delete"
condition="OR (\"X-tagged-for-folder\",is,!Spam_Delete)"

The email had the header, "X-tagged-for-folder: !Spam_Delete" and had been
properly routed when it came in (from a POP3 server on localhost).

I selected these first two rules and ran them on the Inbox. Nothing happened.
Then I selected the second rule and ran it. The email was moved to the proper
folder.

This is so sad. For about 5 years nobody can't even have looked into the code, since the actual bug is just so obvious... :(
