Filters Thunderbird 1.5.0.4
|
|
|
| I set some filter rules (delete the postings with certain words in the
subject), but they do not take effect immediately. The latest rules came
after some others already set in the past that started to work only
after several day after they were set.
The "run filters on folder" option is grayed for newsgroup reader, only
available for email.
I don't recall having the same problem when using Thunderbird in
Windows. Or maybe I am wrong?
I am running Thu under Kubuntu.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve the problem?
Thanks,
praf

message filters are only applied to incoming messages. Not to

ah, that must be it! so there is no feature like "apply now" available
in the OE, right?

if you continued to read I said: "did you click on the filter that you
want to run first." That means open the Message Filters Manager.
Click on the filter you want to run, then at the bottom select where
you want the filter to run -- like inbox, or a certain folder. Then
click on the Run Now button

this method does not work on the newsreader. You must be talking about
another version of Thu. Mine (1.5.0.4) does not have the "run now"
button or anything of the kind.
Anyway filters can not be set on for all newsgroups on a particular
server. you have to manually instruct ThuBird to apply to one newsgroup
at a time.

Open your eyes and look: Tools, Message Filters, on the bottom right,
what do you see: "Run Now" button
So, select the filter you want. Select the folder [from the drop down
at the button] you want the filter to run on, then hit the Run Now button.

I'm with praf on this one :-) In the filters for newsgroups (as opposed
to email) I don't have a "Run Now" button either. TB 1.5.0.5 on a Win XP
Pro machine.

No, you're right, its not there for newsgroups, but its there for
mail, and thats what I was talking about.

besides, newsgroup filters only work on incoming messages, not
messages already there, before the filter was created.

Yeah, that's the sad truth. The infamous OExpress has an option "apply now".
I am trying to replace OE since I, almost, replaced Windows with Linux.
I have this problem that I already explained it, and there is another
thing that I liked in OE newsreader: "next unread message".

right click on the toolbar, select customize, and get the Next button.
Or if you want to use the keyboard, just hit the letter 'n'
