background:
I have my IMAP folders setup in a 2-tier fashion, ie. folders from 'Inbox' get copied to 'In' folder first, then I want to run a rule on the 'In' folder to move specific messages to more specific folders.

A subfolder cannot be selected to run filters on.

when I do click 'Run now', this error is logged:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception...

when hovering one of the items in the dropdown 'Run selected filter(s) on:', this error is logged:
Error: GetMsgFolderFromUri is not defined
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/folderWidgets.xml
Line: 315

Reproducible: Always

2. select the required Rule to run

Actual Results:

This looks like bug 201175 or bug 428574

That solution is for incoming filters. I think he is talking about filters after-the-fact (Manual or Run Now) type.

There is some sort of elusive bug that is affecting Run Now, but I have never been able to reproduce it. If I try the STR of this bug, I do not get the error from comment 0.

Your "Error: GetMsgFolderFromUri is not defined" is an interesting clue. This looks like Bug 440196 which has long been fixed. I wonder if the reporter has some sort of update problem?

Reporter, could you please do a fresh install of TB3 RC1 and see if the problem persists?

I did a fresh install of TB3 RC1 (exact version: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; nl; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091121 Thunderbird/3.0), and in this version i am able to select the required folder to run filter on. No messages appeared in the error console.

Was this bug reintroduced somehow?
What can i do help solve this problem?

What is the problem now? I understand comment 4 that the bug is no longer existing.
Can this be closed?
