Interferring filters for incoming mails

I have multiple filters for one mail account to sort my incoming mails. One of those filters should move all incoming mails to a folder, let's call it "Inbox 2016". This is, because I want my general inbox sorted by years/semesters. Some of the incoming mails should not get into the general folder, but into more specific subfolders, depending on subject or author. So I have, let's say two filters: "Filter A", moving mails with "[A]..." in the subject, to "Inbox 2016/A" "General", moving all mails to "Inbox 2016"

They are ordered in this way, so "General" is below all other filters. If I order "General" above everything, it will just move my mails to "Inbox 2016" and no other filter applies. Now to the strange behavior of my constellation: The mails are sorted correctly when being loaded from the server: All mails go to the normal inbox, mails with "[A]" then are moved to "Inbox 2016/A" and all others to "Inbox 2016". Now, when I open the folder "Inbox 2016/A" in Thunderbird, the filters seem to be run again for all new mails in this folder (older mails are not touched) and move them to "Inbox 2016". Now I have to go there, read them there and afterwards sort them by applying the filters manually to "Inbox 2016".

Does anyone have an idea how I can do this better? A "if mail is in folder X" filter would help, but I can't find one. I also installed the addon "FiltaQuilla" which provides an action called "Stop filter", but adding this action after the move action doesn't help either.

Hi Matt! Sorry, forgot to mention the version. I'm using Thunderbird 38.6.0 on Ubuntu.

Try removing filtaquilla. It has an option to apply filters to all folders. Perhaps that is what is killing you.

Removing FiltaQuilla prevents the hopping of the mails between the folders on viewing them. Now, the new mails are sorted into their subfolders for Filter A, but then instantly moved to "Inbox 2016" with the last filter.
