Hello,
I have tested this issue and couldn’t reproduce it.
I have tested on TB 145.0(20251112194829) and TB 146.0b3(20251118190535) on macOS Sequoia 15.7.1.
I have created a new filter, enabled Filter Log.
I ranned the filter in the desired folder, messages were filtered correctly and the entries of the filter were displayed in the Filter log.

I have this issue with TBird 145.0, running under Windows 11 Pro 24H2.

Messages are being filtered according to my configured rules, but entries are no longer made im the filter log. The latest log entries are dated 14/11/2025 (format dd/mm/yyyy), which suggest to me that this was started release 145.0

The logMoveStr property has been removed in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D261058 without being replaced by a fluent string in all places, so https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/bb6559a0db8b168f98d60ec91ec5f22f041f2b14/mailnews/search/src/nsMsgFilter.cpp#514-517 fails.

So, I see I am not the only one with this problem. I have the same problem after using this feature for many years. Based on some log dates, it appears to have possibly been introduced with the v145 update. I am in the U.S. using Thunderbird v146.0.1 and Windows 10 Pro with all the latest updates. I hope you find a fix soon as it is especially useful when testing the accuracy of new filters and finding filtered messages when I do an oopsy and filter the entire inbox.

thanks for the fix @arschmitz!

but if i'm reading this thread correctly, this fix won't apply until v148? Which will be made available ... when?
