filter applied incorrectly
I have a large number of filters, and an important email was processed to move message into a folder. but the filter had no rule that would apply to the message. all the filter criteria were based on the sender, but that email did not have that sender. the filter log shows the filter being applied anyway. I suspect the filter database is corrupted. How can I fix that? i noticed my version is slightly out of date, and I will update it, but I dont expect that would fix a corrupted filter database .

YOu might want to update to the latest version before asking if something is broken.
Historically, and that is the best guess I have not had V128 for years, filter did not have reports if moving incorrect messages however nothing beyond generalities are available without the exact filter criteria and the source of the mail message.
I have observed over years that the address displayed in the user interface is not the address in the TO: or CC: field of many mails where incorrect filtering on address is alleged. Thunderbird displayed a sanitized "pretty" name in the user interface that is taken from the address book for an email address. That has nothing at all to do with the actual email address in the email other than you have an address book entry for it.
