When reading a mail in Thunderbird, click on "View", "Message Source". This will open a window showing the full source code of the message. Look for lines saying something like, "X-Folder: Inbox". If you have your own folders set up on the Hotmail/Yahoo web site, instead of "Inbox" you will see the name of the folder that the mail came from. Highlight this line and copy it to the clipboard. Then go to "Tools", "Message Filters" and select "New" to create a new Filter. In the drop down menu headed "Subject" click on "Customise" and add "X-Folder" as a custom condition, (you can paste the line copied from the headers then delete the : and everything after it if you like). Then in the blank box after "Contains" put the name of the folder (copy and paste from the headers). Then under the "Perform these actions" section of the filter select "Move to" and the destination folder you want the mail to end up in. You will need to create these folders in Thunderbird before trying to create the filter. You will probably want to use the same names for these folders as you have on the web site, but they can have any name you choose. When you've entered all the needed information and given the new filter a meaningful name, click OK to create the filter.
