Multiple Filters Matched - Only One Fires #246

Open bwanshoom opened 3 days ago

bwanshoom commented 3 days ago

I have 2 filters - 1 that marks a message as read if the subject matches and another that moves the message based on the from address. When I receive messages that match both filter conditions, only the first filter works (the mark read) - the move message does not fire. Neither rule has a "Stop Filter Execution" action. Is the 2nd filter possibly looking at the read status?

Does it not fire or does it fail? You could check in the filter log... maybe there is a lock going on here. FiltaQuilla offers a "Move later" action which you might try instead:

I think it adds a timeout for such cases where actions may be blocked for some reason. It may be a bad implementation on Thunderbird's side, I am hoping that they eventually will transition to async filter actions.

Interesting - according to the log, it looks like both filters are firing so it seems like it's a display issue in Thunderbird, not recognizing the message has been moved?

it may be possible - maybe you can find out in the community chat (Thunderbird Filtering is a built in feature that runs in a service, so the inner workings are not accessible to Add-ons):
