Package: Thunderbird
Version: 1:68.10.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I'm in the midst of the tedious process of switching an account from POP3 to
IMAP. Because Thunderbird doesn't have sane
methods of making the switch, nor even sane methods of copying existing mail to
a new account, this is taking days to complete.
To be able to use my e-mail during the switch, I copied the filter rules file
then editted it to refer to the new account
(no idea why it insists on using the mail server name in addition to the
account name). However, whenever I receive mail
for a rule that references a folder that hasn't been set up yet, it deletes the
rule.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I hve to copy and re-edit the rules file from time to time
* What was the outcome of this action?
Whle this works, it's not as convenient as if TThunderbird simply didn't delete
the action rule.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I'd like Thunderbird to not mess with the rules.

I don't see any Debian related issue in your report. Please consider to
use the typical user support channels [1] and search for solutions
within the internet to solve this typical problem for sharing /
adjusting of message filtering rules.
Took me to about 2min to find this basic howto!

As I don't see a Debian specific problem I will close your report by
this email.
