I just purchased a Linux machine, my first, and installed a series of message filters. On my old Windows machine, the mail filters worked perfectly. Of the mail sources that I filtered, I was very careful to take the most generic identifier of the source of the email to use in the filter. For example, I might get email from a@annoyer.com, b@annoyer.com, c@annoyer.com. So in the filter I would put only "annoyer.com". I chose both filter options - run at downloading of email, and manually run. They work sporadically.

Also working sporadically is the spam notification in inbox with the little flame symbol.

In my Windows Thunderbird, both the filters and the training the incoming spam notification worked. When I received an email that is not in the message filter and I clicked on the flame, the next time a message came from that sender, the message was moved to my junk folder. I'm using POP on both machines.

While my Windows computer is still alive ( I don't want to get rid of it until I know I've transferred everything I need, such as custom word processing templates, fonts, and other items that work in the background.)

However, I do NOT open Thunderbird on Windows anymore, so that there's no confusion from machine to machine.

Hope someone has an answer for me.

re: in the filter I would put only "annoyer.com". Did you use 'From' and 'contains' and "annoyer.com" ?

To save you from writing all those Message Filters again, did you try this.... On Windows machine: Make sure Thunderbird is not running. Message Filters are stored in a file called msgFilterRules.dat, which is in your pop mail account folder in the Profile Name folder. Junk training is in this file 'training.dat'. eg: C:\Users\Windows userAccount\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\abc012345.default\Mail\pop mail account name

Access that location and copy the 'msgFilterRules.dat' and 'training.dat' files to a usb device for transfer.

On Linux machine: Exit Thunderbird Access your profile folder location and open the popmail account folder. Profile folders are located here:

  • ~/.thunderbird/<Profile name>/ Mail/pop mail account name

However, if you're using a third party build from Debian or Ubuntu, those builds store your profile folder here:

  • ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/<Profile name>/Mail/pop mail account name

Move the current 'msgFilterRules.dat' and 'training.dat' files to desktop as a backup to original just in case you want to put it back. Paste in the 'msgFilterRules.dat' and 'training.dat' files copied from Windows machine in to the Linux machine profile pop mail account folder. Start Thunderbird.

It should now use the exact filters you had before.

Did this improve the situation?
