279863 - The filters do not run automatically anymore when getting new e-mail using Pop3 protocol

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 275558

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[pekka.takala]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050105 Debian/1.7.5-1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050105 Debian/1.7.5-1

I have about 10 different filters. I have ALWAYS to run them manually to get my
mail sorted- I am using third party spam program that works as a smarthost. It
tags every mail "spam-not spam-not known" and I want to sort my mail
automatically. The filters worked just fine with mozilla 1.7.3 and they seem to
be ok and activated, but it annoys me that I need to execute the filters
manually. The filters work just fine when run manually, but where is the enable
switch to make them run automatically as they did before?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail window.
2. Push get msgs.

The filters DID apply simultaneously with 1.7.3 or earlier Mozilla. Not anymore.
I need to run them manually now and I think it is annoying.

Actual Results:  
The filters do not apply and every mail, including junk mail and mail that needs
sorting, sit just in Inbox.

Expected Results:  
It should have sorted the mail as did version 1.7.3 or earlier. I do not know
how the 1.7.4 version works, I have not noticed when Debian Testing had this (or
it had at all?). The filters had worked for ages automatically, why not anymore?

This was a regression in 1.7.5. It is fixed in the latest builds from the 1.7
branch (pre-1.7.6). Please upgrade to it.
