Incoming messages routed to Trash

Victoria Strauss

As of two days ago, all of my incoming messages are going directly to the Trash folder.

On Thunderbird, I've deleted all my message filters, and disabled adaptive spam filter logging. On my webmail provider, I've deleted all filters there and checked for any changes that might be responsible (there are none). None of this has fixed the problem.

I have a POP account, if that's relevant. Please help! Thank you.

Looks like it may have been an update issue--the one thing I didn't try. Seems to be fixed now.

Yes, it was a bug affecting filters in ver. 155.0 that was fixed in 155.0.1 . The bug had to do with the presence of filter conditions that contain blank clauses. That should never be allowed because it doesn't make good logical sense, but it didn't affect anything until a slight programming change in 155. So, it does work now, but at your convenience you should look through your Message Filters and get rid of any rules that have blank conditions.
