Yesterday i did some maintenance of my inbox. Basically, rearranged a few folders (directories), eliminated some, etc. After ascertaining everything was working, I ran Thundefix (as a preventative). Again, everything seems fine.
Today, my inbox is flooded with messages, which the filters didn't route. So I went into the message filters, clicked edit, the ran the filter and it worked. Great I thought, a minor inconvenience but not the end of the world (although I've probably got 200 filters). Anyway, I did a few more as new email came in (figuring if kept plugging away and 'updating' the filters eventually I'll get done). So to recap, 'update' of a filter is just me clicking on the rule, clicking edit, then save and exiting because the rules are exactly as I made them, and when I click run manually, the filter rule works and the message is routed appropriately.
Here's the rub. Later today, more messages arrived for filters I have already done. Weird thing is, they're not working. However, if I go into message filters and select run manually, it works perfectly. It's just not automatically. Anyway, as you can imagine, it's driving me batty.
Help gratefully appreciated. Note, been running Thunderbird for years. This is new behavior.
