I'd like ONE filter applied to ALL the 'filter for' email accounts I have(6)
I have 6 email accounts and would like to have ONE filter(the same filter) applied to all those accounts. Currently I have to setup the same filter into all 6 accounts. I can't see an 'all accounts' in the pulldown options in the 'filter for....' part of the filter setup. IE: one company sends me emails to 2 or 3 of my email addresses. I'd like those emails to go to the same folder. Hopefully this makes sense. Any help is appreciated. Thank you Jay

The bad news is that's how Thunderbird's filters work. They are specific to accounts and there is no concept of a global filter that applies across multiple accounts.
You might look at an add-on such as QuickFilters which provides a copy-and-paste mechanism, making the copying of a filter from one account to another a bit less painful.
Alternatively you treat one account as the master and copy its filter rules file (msgFilterRules.dat) to the other accounts. This only works ok if you have exactly the same filters in each account
