275268 - Mozilla Mail 1.7.5 does not always filter messages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 275190

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Mark Knipfer]

After updating from Mozilla 1.7.3 to 1.7.5, Mozilla Mail does not always filter
messages to the mail folders.  Instead the messages stay in the Inbox.  If I
click Tools | Run Filters on Folder when the Inbox is highlighted, the messages
filter to the correct mail folders.

I uninstalled Mozilla 1.7.5, installed Mozilla 1.7.3, and now message filtering
is back to normal.

Note: I selected General for the Component due to not seeing Message Filters
available for Component.

I've installed 1.7.5 and in my simple test (Win2K) the new message was moved as 
expected.  Can you provide more details about the conditions where the filtering 
does not take place?  Many messages or just a few?  All to the same target 
folder or to different ones?  Multiple accounts?  POP or IMAP mail?

Not critical: no dataloss or crash, and in fact you have a workaround 
(running filters via the menu).

You can find an example of a filter that no longer works as described in this
bug in bugreport 275190.
