Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 355537

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Versie 2.0.0.0 (20070326)

I've had this problem since I installed Thunderbird 2, never had any problems with it on 1.5.

I have a set of rules for my different mail accounts set in the Local Folder.
I set the rules to Label my mails based on the account keys.

But now I installed Thunderbird 2 and the rules don't work anymore when the mails come in. Only when I press the button manually to filter the folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set a Rule in the Local Folders folder.
2. Download New Mail
3.
Actual Results:  
The Rules were not working.

Expected Results:  
The Rules should have labelled my mails when they were downloaded as they did in Thunderbird 1.5 and lower.

Exactly what filter criteria do you use? 

Comment 2

If X-Account-Key = accountN then Label the Message with label Y, where N should be replaced by the corresponding number of the account and Y the label for that account.

And it works when I manually press the button to apply filters on the folder, but not when the emails are downloaded.

Ah, good to hear, sorry about the duplicate, I searched but couldn't find anything about it. I'm using a localized build, so I didn't exactly know the name of the features.

Awaiting for the stable build :-)
