Author T-Bird filters not being saved after restart

Did a newsgroup search and didn't come up with any hits. If there's
already a thread, please let me know.

I'm using Thunderbird 1.0.7 in Fedora Core 3. And at some point it
stopped saving my new filter rules. All the rules I made early on stay
and work, but new rules I make work only so long as I don't restart the
program. When I do, all the new rules disappear.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Liam

Do you have read/write access to all files in your profile?

Good question. in my home directory where I assume it's all stored, my
..thunderbird dir has me as owner and 664 permissions in all its folders
and subdirectories.
Thanks for the reply!

You could try renaming msgFilterRules.dat. Note this will disable all
your filters, so you would be starting over.

Thanks for the tip! Recreating the existing rules once isn't near as
bad as recreating a few every time I restart TBird. =)
