how to use the same msgFilterRules.dat for several mail account

Hi there ! I'm trying to use the same msgFilterRules.dat for several mail account. To do that I tried to use Windows symbolic links. I copied my main msgFilterRules.dat onto a common place (GoogleDrive) and then I replaced each msgFilterRules.dat in my profiles by a symbolic link.

example : mklink msgFilterRules.dat "C:\Users\guyot\Google Drive\datajp\msgFilterRules.dat" Lien symbolique créé pour msgFilterRules.dat <<===>> C:\Users\guyot\Google Drive\datajp\msgFilterRules.dat

This was working as expected, BUT as soon as I update the msgFilterRules.dat of one of my mail account the symbolic link is replaced by a regular text file.

Is there a way to avoid to have to copy again the updated msgFilterRules.dat on GoogleDrive and to re-create the symbolic link.

Thanks for your informations and help.

Regards.

Bad idea - and won't work as you found out.

Sorry, there is not. As long as filters are only supported on a "per account" basis, you will face this limitation.

Bad news for me. I'll look for an automate to do the job. Nevertheless I think that thunderbird should respect the symbolic link and should follow it instead of replacing it.

it could be a new feature, no ?

Anyhow, thanks for your prompt and clear reply
