[Feature Request] Message Filter - Configrurable minutes for periodical filter run #268

Closed hermit99 closed 5 months ago

hermit99 commented 5 months ago

The current filter trigger of periodical run is hard coded to 10 minutes. I would like to see a feature / UI enhancement that allows users to configure this X minutes, so that the message filter can be used as an archiving / folder cleaning tool on a typically much lower frequency than every 10 minutes.

Not sure how much is your funding requirement, but happy to donate.

This code was added in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=864187. The time is actually flexible: https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/686c2fa1e7cb#l10.13 So set pref mail.server.default.periodicFilterRateMinutes to whatever you want. Or check "Help > Troubleshooting Information" for the server you want to change and set mail.server.serverNN.periodicFilterRateMinutes.

Here's the result when I set mail.server.server1.periodicFilterRateMinutes. image

I think we won't invest any further work here.
