Filter rules attached to specific folders

more options

From ClawsMail I know a way (german: "Verarbeitungsregel", translated: processing rules) to attached filter rules to specific folders.

e.g. All mails with status read AND age greater then 180 days -> move to Folder "old"

Be aware this is not about filtering incoming mails. I would expect that such processing rules will be executed when entering or leaving the folder or when Thunderbird start or close.

I have no idea how to do this in Thunderbird. Do I missed an feature or an AddOn for this?

Hello Moonkid1


We have read your message. We try to help you.


Yes I have read your message you were interested in attachment and filters? These filters cannot be changed in Thunderbird itself.


The option to just change this options to Thunderbird Is none. There is an addon that can do something with it.

There is an addon that can do certain things I will give you down here. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/filtaquilla/

It works if you use version type Thunderbird 68.0.
