Running Thunderbird 31.4.0 on Windows 7 64-bit

I have two filters in my inbox

Filter Wildcard: If To doesn´t contain "xxxxxxxx" Move message to Wildcard

Filter MoveAll: Move Message to Incoming

After sending a message that correctly goes to wildcard there is a unwanted action of "MoveAll" that makes a duplicate of the wildcarded message.

Filter log : Applied filter "Wildcard" to message from Lars <lars@someone.com> - sssss at 2015-02-06 22:51:08 moved message id = 54D5374C.6040309@telia.com to mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Wildcard

Applied filter "MoveAll" to message from - at 1970-01-01 01:00:00 moved message id = to mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Incoming

Chosen solution

Maybe you need to add the "stop filter execution" action to the first filter?

Is there a point in having "Stop filter execution" as last action in a filter? I will try it and see.

For most messages, when the first filter isn´t triggered I want the second filter to take effect.

Sort of:

if (first filter trigger ) then

  <one action>

else

 <other action>
