Steps to reproduce:

On my work e-mail account's INBOX, I have several dozen filter rules that automatically move incoming emails into IMAP folders. Most rules filter by 'From: equals' only, some of them filter by 'From: equals' and 'Subject: contains'.

I need the latter kind of filter rules for e-mails received from our company's support ticket tracking system, so I can have one folder per active ticket. Whenever a ticket is closed, I move its folder to a different place (for archival purposes).


Actual results:

Instead of only modifying the corresponding filter's 'Move message to:' action, all subsequent filter rules' 'Move message to:' actions are modified, too, so that almost all new e-mails matching a filter rule are moved to the most recently moved folder.

This is especially bad because the filter rules for tickets are on top of the list.


Expected results:

Only the corresponding filter's 'Move message to:' action should've been modified.
