It should be nice to have filters applying to more than one account (or to all accounts). For example "when message comes from X whatever the account is, move to folder X. At now, with 5 accounts I have to set the filter 5 times.
Or in a another manner, assigning a filter to the global mailbox would activate it for all accounts.
And maybe it would be nice to have the hability to copy/paste and/or import(merge)/export filters.


Reproducible: Always

filters for the global inbox *do* apply to all accounts that are stored in the global inbox.

If comment 1 doesn't mean this bug is invalid, then this is maybe a dupe of on of these:  bug 34973, bug 129883, bug 267197

Yes ... but is suppose reporter told about the same problem as me:
a lot of email account, each with local inbox ...
And per account, some filters rules moving mails to Local Folders ...

So, now, it is impossible to apply some rules to mails incoming to all account with UI ... only possibility is to manually copy rules from one msgFilterRules.dat to all other ...

So, dupe of bug 129883
