276944 - Automatic filtering of inbox messages broke with 1.7.5 release

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 275558

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Matthew Stier]

With the release of Mozilla 1.7.5, automatic message filtering of new messages
into the Inbox has stopped working.

This problem has been noted in both the Windows (Win2k) and the Solaris 8 (GTK1
contrib) releases.

Switching back to Mozilla 1.7.3 fixes the problem.

Message filtering does work, since it can be run manually.

Note: While searching bugzilla, it appears that this problem was present in
pre-1.0 releases of Thunderbird. It is possible this bug/feature has crept into
the Mozilla 1.7.5 build.

marking dep for now, since i'm not sure if this is a dupe of that bug.

If non-working filter is filter for customized header, this bug is DUP of Bug
275190 or Bug 275558(probably DUP of Bug 275190), as Frank Wein says.

Matthew Stier, do you know the bug number of it?

I have experienced the same problem. Simply removing 1.7.5 and installing 1.7.3
restored automatic mail filtering. I did this twice with absolutely no changes
to Moz profile data in between. This bug can be marked confirmed now (remains
unconfirmed - leave it up to you).
