289680 - Mail Filters not automatically working on Local Folders when united

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 271729

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[dmaizer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he-IL; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050226 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: version 1.0 (20041206) - hebrew build

After I set all of my mail accounts to use the Local Folders Inbox, Unsent,
etc., and re-created all my Mail Filters on the Local Folders account, the
filters do not automatically run when there's new mail - and everything just
piles up in my Inbox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Unite all accounts to use Local Folders
2.Create one or more filters on Local Folders "account"
3.Remove/disable all filters on other accounts
4. D/l new mail - no filtering done

Actual Results:  
No filtering on incoming mail was done

Expected Results:  
Filtering should have been done

If I enter the filters' dialog box and select them all (they're all checked
Active  BTW), and "apply now" them, it works - but that's manual, not automagical.

filters", second paragraph.

fixed on trunk for 1.1, when using account deferral (global inbox) both the
incoming and target account's filters are run when getting mail (bug 271729
comment 15).
