Automatic filtering [seems to work].
However, manually triggered filtering doesn't seem to work right, at
least for messages that are marked as read. Invoking "Run filter on
folder" seems to process at most one message, even if multiple messages
are selected in the message list.

Right next to the "Run Filters on Folder" menu item there is ...

Which window/etc. are you referring to with "pop-up"? When I activate
the Run Filters on Folder menu item, nothing pops up.
Must be a Linux vs. Windows thing, then. When I select
tools->message_filters I get a pop-up window to work on filters. And at
the bottom of that, if I select one individual filter, I get a select
list to choose which folder to use as target. You say you don't have
that, so I can't help.
(Unless the Linux and Windows versions names these menu items and buttons
differently...:)
I mentioned, twice, that I'm using "Run Filters on Folder"--that's the
menu item in the Tool menus. I never said I was using the Run Now
button at the bottom of the Message Filters window.
I notice that that Run Now button does seem to work even when the
Run Filters on Folder command (menu item) does not. Maybe what's
broken in SeaMonkey is the connection between the menu and the
filtering code.
As I did not (oops) make clear: I'm talking about automatic vs. manual
operation of the _same_ filters. That is, I have confirmation that the
filters themselves are set up right, because automatic filtering (when
new mail comes in, and, at last usually, when I drag _unread_ messages
back to my Inbox) works--the messages are moved to the expected other
folders.
Another difference, in Linux it runs one filter on the selected folder,
while automatic operation runs them all in order.
Doesn't the Run Now button run all filters that are selected in the table
(well, only the enabled ones, presumably)?
(Also, the Run Filters on Folder certainly implies (via its name) that
it also runs all filters, just as automatic filtering does.)

several filters might produce similar action.
True, but that's not the problem here. (I have been re-creating my
filter set incrementally (not importing profiles from my 1.1.18 setup
when I installed 2.0.6 to move to 2.0), so having duplicate filters is
unlikely--and having duplicate filters for the many different cases
I've seen is virtually impossible.)
However, for message[s] marked as read:
1. when I drag back messages, those read messages are not moved, and
2. when I go to the Inbox folder and invoke the Run Filters on Folder
menu item, only _one_ read message is moved (even when the list/table
has a selection containing multiple messages).
Is this standard POP3 or IMAP, or is it in some Microsoft mail vortex.
It's an IMAP account, but it is Microsoft Exchange on the other end.
However, I haven't seen any behavior that suggests that this problem
is because of the server.
Sounds like the Windows SM is totally different, so I'll stop before I
confuse you.
No, I don't think it's that different. I haven't upgraded to 2.0 on
my Linux system yet, but for 1.1.x, the Linux and Windows versions were
very similar.
