So, I was setting up my umpteenth message filter in the message filters dialog
(Sender contains Mom@example.com, Move to, New Folder, Mom, ...), and I thought
to myself: this SUCKS. I hate doing this!

Then I thought: filtering junk mail in Thunderbird is so dang easy. Why can't
the same adaptive algorithm that does filtering for junk mail be applied to
filtering ALL my mail?

Like, say, I get some mail in my inbox from Mom@example.com. I tell the adaptive
filtering system: no, put this message in folder "Mom". And it tries to put mail
"like" that message into folder "Mom" from then on. And I gently correct it
until it figures out what to do on its own.

See bug 181866.  If this isn't a dupe, it at least depends on that one.
Yep, this is more or less a dupe of 181866.
