Thunderbird 153.2.0esr - Filters stop working
I have Thunderbird 153.2.0esr which runs 2 Email filter (on Inbox and on Outbox)
These filters worked for years.
Suddenly, about at the end of July 2026, the stopped working.
I suspect that one of the latest release of Thunderbird make them stop working.
Is it possible? Any suggest?
Also the filter log registry is empty.

re :the filter log registry is empty.
In Message Filters, click on 'Filter Log' Is the checkbox 'Enable filter log' selected ? If yes, it suggests no filter is working.
re: Filters Confirm they are enabled. Check filters to see if you have any condition set up with a blank string. eg: 'Body' and 'isn't' and the text area is blank.
The 'blank string' is a known issue which is being looked at by developers. Some people have found either filter not working or emails get filtered to wrong folder.
Fix is to either remove that condition which has a blank string or enter data.
Yes, filters log is enabled (but empty) and filters are enabled.
No blank string appears in filter as you can see from image attached here
OK Looks like italian, so used Google translate.
All filters automatically run on new incoming mail in the Inbox. You can manually run a filter on any selected folder.
'Nome Catella' seems to mean 'Folder Name'
That option does not appear in a normal list,
- Subject
- From
- Body
- Date
- Prioity
- Status
- To
- Cc
- To or Cc
- From, to, Cc or Bcc
- Age in days
- Size
- Tag
- Attachment Status
- Spam Status
- Spam percent
- Spam score origin
All filters works on data in an email. The folder name is never in an email. That option should not be available. I would never expect that to work.
But I'm thinking how did you get that 'Folder Name' option ? Have you installed an add-on to do with filters ? Maybe that addon no longer works with the latest version of Thunderbird ?
Check your 'Addon-ons and Themes' > 'Extensions' to see what is installed and what is enabled.
Or did you click on 'Customise' and create 'Folder Name' ?
Thanks for the suggest, I found the probable issue in Filtaquilla (an extension) which seems to have a bug:
