270785 - Can't permanently assign filters to subfolders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 294632

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Christian Roth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: 20041103

When using server side filtering, incoming messages appear in several 
subfolders and not just the INBOX. It seems impossible to create a filter that 
always runs on a specific subfolder.
For example: My IMAP mail server (using the "spamassassin" filter) puts spam 
messages in a folder named "spam". I wish to run additional tests on these 
messages, such as checking the X-Original-To: header, etc.
This can only be done manually by using the "Run the selected filter(s) on 
[folder]" feature in the filter dialog.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new filter and mark it "Enabled"
2.
3.
