208531 - Cannot set filter to match and move all messages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 66771

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Peter Kirk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

There doesn't seem to be a way to filter all messages in an inbox etc. At least
if there is, I can't find it. I want to move all messages arriving in a
particular inbox into another folder. But I can't find a way of doing it. I
could try getting round it with something like "To contains @" but even that
isn't foolproof as some measages have no To address. I tried leaving as the
default "Subject contains <blank>" but that doesn;t work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have some messages in an inbox
2. Try to set up a filter to move them all to a folder

Actual Results:  
Nothing I tried would get them all to move.

Expected Results:  
Allowed me to set up a filter with no match constraints - perhaps by allowing
the "Fewer" button to delete the one initial constraint. Then Mozilla should
have matched all messages in the inbox and moved them to the specified folder.
