I am running Thunderbird 1.5.0.9.

Is there a way to keep an email message in the inbox?

For example I created a filter that sends all messages with a subject of
[Bulk] to a Trash Deleted folder where I can skim them. I then created a
filter which is run first to check for a "From" " is"  "email address" and i
f
so move it to the inbox ie leave it there. I think it does leave it there bu
t
Thundeerbird doesn't stop and contiunes to run through all the filters and
when it finds the Bulk filter it moves it to the Trash Deleted folder.

So I could create another inbox mail folder and then move them back but that
\s
extra work.

I have tried both in the indiviual email address and also in local folders.
One of the ids with a challenge has no filters at all for the email id.

I can't figure out  why some of them are going into the Trash Deleted Folder
.

Is there a way to keep an email message in the inbox?

Thanks

Filters are run by the first one on the list, then the next one in the
list, and so on.  So, if you have the inbox filter on top, and you tell
it to leave certain messages in the inbox.  Now, the next filter in the
list is run on the inbox.  So, now it moves those from the first filter
to the trash.  So, you've destroyed and are defeating the purpose of
the first filter.

Why not, for the first filter, the sve to inbox, instead, create a
special folder, maybe called inbox2, and have that filter move those
messages to that folder.
