There are two options here:

Tools -> Run filters on selected folder
Tools -> MessageFilters: Run Now

If you don't have these, try a newer nightly. I'm running 20021009.

hi guys,

i just thought i could finally make the jump from sylpheed to mozilla
mail. so i configured my pop3 account with my 500+ mails. mozilla
downloaded them all very nicely. then i created nice folders like:

mailinglist/xy
mailinglist/xyz
mailinglist/abc
....

then i made nice filters which should move the mails directly in the
right folder. i marked all the 500+ mails in my inbox and then the
search started... i couldnt find an option like "filter selected mails".

i rummanged every single option in my mozilla (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U;
FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020928) but couldnt find such an
option. did i miss something or is there really no such possibility to
filter mails AFTER having them already downloaded?

sure i could make the filters before downloading the mails but why
should i... i really miss that feature.

well again, did i miss something or is a feature like that planed in
sooner versions?

thanks for the enlightenment
buba
