531244 - Growl doesn't show notifications when messages are filtered to subfolders

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Thunderbird :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Davide Ficano]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; it; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5
Build Identifier: 

I use mail filters to *move* messages to folders, but when filters take action no growl notification appears.

If I disable filters and email go to standard root folder Growl works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a filter for emails that moves to a specified subfolder
2. Move focus to an application different from Thunderbid
3. Wait a message to be filter arrive
Actual Results:  
The growl notification doesn't appear

Expected Results:  
The growl notification must appear as it already does when mails arrive to default root folder 

This problem occurs also on Linux so I think it is related to filters

Where are you moving the messages to/from? IMAP -> IMAP, POP -> POP, IMAP -> Local Folders etc?

I use only POP.

Move from POP to Local Folders.

I am having what seems like the same problem, but with IMAP->Local Folders.  

Mail that is sent by a filter to a folder in Local Folders does not trigger a Growl alert.  Mail that remains in the IMAP Inbox folder does.

I am having the same frustration. Growl notification worked fine for filtered messages in Thunderbird 2 but no longer seems to in Thunderbird 3.

I use POP filters based on to: and cc: fields. No filtered messages are notified via Growl and since all my incoming POP messages are sorted into subfolders, only IMAP messages are notified.

Growl used to work in TB 2 and even in TB 3 until I deleted the Growl extensions, that should be unnecessary, as Growl notifications are included in the main code.

Now I can't get it to work again, even after re-installing Growl Notifications 1.0.2 and   Growl New Message Notification with extensions.checkCompatibility set to off (because they aren't compatible with TB 3).

Confirming.

Grow New Message Notification in it's newest versions 0.4.0&1 now supports Thunderbird 3 (at least the current 3.1.1) without changing extensions.checkCompatibility.

I am having the same problem with TB 3.1.6 and Growl 1.2.1 on my Mac Pro Quad-Core Snow Leopard 10.6.4.  Any messages that are in subfolders do not trigger Growl notification.

Sorry, Growl support has been removed from the current versions.

Mass bug change. Please reopen if you disagree.
