565371 - New in TB 3.1 for users

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(support.mozillamessaging.com Graveyard :: Knowledge Base Articles, defect)

Description

[jenzed]

We need an article on the support site that describes changes relevant to users. 

One issue: 
 One of the changes that people need to be aware of in TB 3.1 is a 
change in the default location for filters. Previously, for situations 
with deferred-to Local Folders accounts (typically POP3 with a global 
inbox), then when you either ran Create Filter From Message or 
Tools/Message Filters, then you were shown the account for the POP3 
incoming server (the deferred-from account), and created filters did not 
work when run manually. Now, you are shown the Local Folders account, 
and those filters will work both for incoming and manual.

The problem with changing the default, is that people are going to do 
Tools/Message Filters and see the Local Folders account filters, and not 
the previous deferred-from account. They will then believe that all of 
their existing filters have disappeared.


Another issue: folder columns: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565356
