CentOS - May 2006 - Thunderbird not automatically filter on incomming mail

Hi folks,

I've noticed since long time ago that all the filters i have preset in
thunderbird on CentOs are not automatically being applied as mail arrives. What
i use to do is going to Tools->Run Filters on Folders being reading the
"Local
Folders -> Inbox" folder.

Is there a way to preset it to automatically filter the incomming mail to the
corresponding folders? I can remember some time ago it was working ok, but since
a mail-store translation from a different machine to this one im having this
issue for some accounts/filters only.

$ rpm -q thunderbird
thunderbird-1.0.8-1.4.1.centos4

TIA

Jose.

Click on Tools->Message filters.

Is the "enabled" box checked on the affected filters?  You may have to
go into each non-checked filter and check that the settings under
"Perform these actions" are correct.  I have found that Tbird forgets
these if you move your mail folders around from outside the program and
if it finds the folder missing, it will disable the filter.
