Can we have a method where any incoming mail that has an attachment is automatically detected and moved to a seperate folder off an accounts inbox.

I'd like a filtering option that would allow a message with an attachment to be moved to a different folder before landing in the inbox so that if my anti-virus decides it needs to delete the folder to remove the virus completely I'm not going to trash all my other emails.

The same could be done for emails containing links.

It would be good if these sacrificial folders were automatically regenerated ( if deleted by an antivirus client ) as Thunderbird boots.

The filter in Thunderbird works on what is delivered to the Inbox, so I think your plan is doomed to failure.

If you want to head it off before it gets anywhere near your computer, you need to work at the server. Does your mail provider offer any filtering?

Personally I wouldn't tolerate an anti virus that had the potential to cause so much damage.

There is a setting in Thunderbird to permit anti-virus to access your email without destroying entire folders. Look under Tools|Options.
