How do you copy filters between accounts

[fakeologist]

I have 5 email accounts, and I want the filters to run on ALL of them. How do I do this?

Thunderbird does not support "global" filters - I believe Postbox does,

You have to copy them to the other account(s). Highlight the filters, then click the copy button:

then 1) select the target account 2) select a position in the list 3) press the paste button

repeat all steps (including copying) for each account. This doesn't actually use the clipboard but it is 100% internal to Thunderbird.

Another way would be to use backup on one account and then loading the filters using restore button on the target account (but that gives you less control on where and how many you transfer)

It's probably a good idea to make a backup anyway before you do big changes like this.
