Can I create an exception for a message filter?
Using Thunderbird 68.7.0 with Win 10, I would like to create an exception for a message filter.
For example: If the messages is to, from or contains the word blahblah, move to blahblah folder EXCEPT if the message is from Mike Jones.
I've got the filter working fine; my question is about the exception part.
Thanks for any help!

Just create two filters: the first one moves messages from Mike Jones to another folder, the second moves messages where the Body, or To or From contains a given text string (Match any of the following). Filters run in the order they are listed in the Message Filters window. The first filter can be generalized to move messages from contacts in a specified address book.

No is the short answer, you can have an if or type relationship, but not multiples.
So you could have if the message contains blahblah and from is not whomever move.
What you can not have is if the message contains blahblah and from is not whomever and from contains whateverelse move
There is a addon that will let you do thins. But it in not for the faint hearted. The learning curve is steep unless you are familiar with JavaScript (I am not).

That works great! Thank you!
