inherited folder property “Apply Incoming Filters” link in user documentation is broken #172

In the user guide for FiltaQuilla, I found the following:

By default, message filters in IMAP are only applied to the INBOX. If you have some server-side filters, there could be times when you also want to apply filters to other folders. FiltaQuilla includes an inherited folder property “Apply Incoming Filters” that you may use to specify additional folders that will have filters applied. See the post “Inherited Folder Properties – revisited” at http://www.mesquilla.com/2009/11/06/inherited-folder-properties-revisited/index.html for more information about using inherited folder properties.

I do indeed use some server-side filters, and unfortunately the link for http://www.mesquilla.com/2009/11/06/inherited-folder-properties-revisited/index.html is broken.

Could you point me to another guide for FiltaQuilla's inherited folder property and how to apply incoming filters to sub-folders?

Unfortunately the original author, Kent James, has retired from Add-on development a few years ago, and I took over FiltaQuilla and ToneQuilla because he had mentored me before on some of my own Add-ons. It was quite difficult to convert the filter editor code (which was based on deprecated xbl bindings technology) but the inherited properties was beyond my own paygrade at that time. I am still not sure whether it is possible and whether something like this will ever be supported by the web extensions format.

I migrated still applicable sections of the FiltaQuilla user guide to my own domain (quickfolders.org) on these support pages:

The broken link I'm referring to in this thread about incoming filters is currently found in the guide on the quickfolders.org; see below.

looks like this page is in dire need of an update!
