There's one way of doing it without having to manually refilter or create
all the filters for each account.
You could use mail redirecting. For each account create a filter to
delete, as well as redirect all messages to the main account you wish to
manage all messages from. Also in "Options/Network & Administration"
enable 'allow local delivery'. When you do this all mail will be locally
redirected to the main account where the filters in the main account are
automatically applied as you desire. The disadvantage here is that the
message headers for each message will be stripped of a lot of their
original content. However, the main headers will be preserved so that you
can reply etc. as you normally would, the creation time headers etc also
being preserved. Upon experimentation I see that reference headers are
stripped as well which could present difficulties for threading by
references.
This brings up the question. Why do redirected messages have reference
headers stripped from them? I can understand the received headers being
stripped but not the reference headers.
Each accounts filters are stored in each accounts folder as account.srx.
You could copy the main accounts filter set to that of the other accounts
*after closing TB!* and then restarting TB!. Of course remember to backup
the srx files that you're overwriting in case you don't like what happens.
