Common vs account filters
Hello tbudl, So I have a problem. You need two accounts to reproduce this: I converted three of my over 100 filters in my main account to be common filters which move messages to folders in the main account. They used to work perfectly as account filters, and they still do their job. The account filters in the subsidiary account mark all messages with a colour group. This works fine with message not caught by the common filters. The sub account has only three filters, which I consider irrrelevant for the moment. Messages which arrive in the subsidiary account are moved by the common filters to the main account as desired. However, they are *not* colour-coded. The account filters are completely ignored. (The test I did yesterday said differently, but I found out that was because I moved some of the messages manually.) Steps to reproduce: 1.) Don't use account filters in the main account. Switch them to be common filters. 2.) Have an email arrive at the other (subsidiary) account. 3.) Use common filters to move messages to folders in the main account. 4.) Have a filter in place in the sub account that assigns a colour group. The message will end up in the main account (that's correct) but the filter in the sub account (assinging the colour group) will be ignored. This is confirmed by the log file, even though the common filter moving the message has Continue Processing... checked. Is this a bug or am I trying something not intended? 9Val said that the link to the message object will not be lost by moving. -- TIA, Thomas.

Maybe it has to do with moving messages from one account to another, and that the incoming filter for the account you're moving the messages to will not be triggered - because they were incoming for another account. It doesn't matter if it is a common filter or an account filter - once an incoming filter was triggered thats it, and the continue processing flag has no effect. You could say that messages are bound to the account they're originally were received for. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) using TB! v3.0.2.10 Home on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 There was never an idea started that woke men out of their stupid indifference but its originator was spoken of as a crank. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I know at least one common filter bug has been fixed without being mentioned in the release notes, but I don't remember when.

GM I just replicated this as carefully as I could, and it works as GM expected. You mean it the message was colour-coded? (Not sure whether you mean you expected it to be coded or not.) GM The message is moved to a folder in account A by a common filter, The message first arrived in account B and was then moved by common filter to account A, right? GM and then assigned a color group by an account B filter. Yes, that's my setting, the colour group assigned by an account filter in the account into which the messages originally arrived.

You don't indicate what version of TB! you're GM using, but a message from a few days ago indicates you're on 3.0.2.4. No, this is what I use at home (and write to TBUDL). In the office I use 3.0.1.33 under XP Pro, that's the one I am reporting about. GM I know at least one common filter bug has been fixed without being GM mentioned in the release notes, but I don't remember when. If GM you're brave you could try the latest. No betas in the office, thanks. ;-) I will post my previous message on TBBETA, and if it gets confirmed there, will open a bugreport. -- Cheers, Thomas.
