i have a list of filters created and need to apply them to multiple email Inboxes. how do i do this? when creating a filter, it only allows the selection on one email address at a time. and there is no provision to import or migrate filters from one address to another.

can this even be done? i'd rather not have to recreate this big filter list for each and every email address i have to work with.

thank you!  :)

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

If you want to duplicate an accounts filters in another account you don't need to create them again. Exit Thunderbird and copy the "msgFilterRules.dat" file instead. If the account is in another profile and it uses custom headers you will also need to copy the mailnews.customHeaders setting from prefs.js.
