Details

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Subscribe to RSS feed.
  2. create a filter (in my case remove tag based on age)
  3. Select filter application as manual and periodically
  4. Run filter manually once to check if the filter actually runs as expected
  5. wait

Actual results:

filter did not run
filter log is empty (except for the manual run)

Expected results:

Filter should have run after the periodic time interval

Code is likely around here: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/7bbb8e5a56e688006243f0cbc0b56afe795d1842/mailnews/search/src/PeriodicFilterManager.jsm#79

Can you set mail.periodicfilters.loglevel to "All" and investigate further? That will give you more logs in the error console

well, all i am getting is this:

12:03:26.424 mail.periodicfilters: PeriodicFilterManager init() PeriodicFilterManager.jsm:45:9
12:04:26.438 mail.periodicfilters: PeriodicFilterManager timer callback 11 PeriodicFilterManager.jsm:79:9

so looking at the code at some point it should log PeriodicFilterManager apply periodic filters to server <...>, right? and since it doesn't do that, something went wrong in the for?

Does it still fail?
