How to express folder name under a specific account #253

Open hparlak opened 6 months ago

hparlak commented 6 months ago

I want to restrict a filter to run in the Sent folder of a specific account, among multiple mail accounts. How can I specify the Sent folder name for that account?

I would have to look into it, but it might be related to this one:

the only thing I do not know is whether you can (or how to) run this automatically...

There was a typo in my original question which I corrected now. To be sure that I'm understood correctly: I check the "Folder Name" box in the extensions setup. Then I go to Thunderbird's filter setups screen, I select Folder Name as the filter parameter, next to it, it asks me to specify the folder name as a string. How do I format the text so that it correctly understands that I mean the Sent folder under mail account2?

by selecting account2 from the "account" dropdown before you create the filter?

this means the filter should only run on the sent folder there when you click "run filters on folder" or "filter selected mails". There are no global filters that run on all accounts at the moment (by Thunderbird design)
