ok, description.
Created a new folder "MISC", then created a filter for emails that contains a
specified email "[e-mail] "to move to the new folder MISC).

Running the filter will cause the emails to be filtered and moved to the
specfied destination. (ok, that's the idea)

if executed "run filters in folder" (MISC)in the destination folder itself.. it
will delete all emails in the folder (MISC).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a folder
2.create a filter on receival of specifiec email, move to the new folder
3.apply filter so that all emails are moved to the new folder
4.apply "run filters on folder" on the folder created.


Actual Results:  
Deleted emails 

Expected Results:  
nothing. it should have detected that he already his placed on destiny folder
and execute nothing ... or move to a temp folder and then to the destination
folder.....

Diogo Carvalho, is this bug still a problem for you?

I'm unable to reproduce this with TB 0.7.

Do you have other conditions which will move the already filtered mails in MISC
folder after the condition of "if mail contains [e-mail] then move to
MISC folder'?
If yes, this is probably same problem as Bug 232569.
