Message filters move mail from all folders

I have a message filter in place that moves all mail from the inbox to a certain folder from where it then gets sorted. After each of the recent thunderbird updates it has moved all mail from all folders including sent & deleted etc into the folder, which causes a real headache. I haven't run the filter on these folders. I have changed the filter so that it only filters mail which has an age in days of less than 1 so I have less work to do to sort all of the mail out. Hopefully someone has experienced this before and can advise on how to resolve this issue. Thanks Martyn

filters will run automatically on the inbox folder, why move the mail somewhere else so you have to manually run the filters?
