Filter keeps copying already copied emails
Hello everyone. I have some filters set up in Thunderbird which are set to copy all emails if they are sent to or received from a certain address to their respective folders. The idea is to keep a copy of the emails in the Inbox, the Sent box and a separate folder. It may seem redundant, I know, but that's what I'm trying to achieve, so, I don't want to move the emails.
Problem is, Thunderbird keeps copying, and thus creating duplicates of the same emails into the new folder. Yes, I have the filter set to execute every 10 minutes, but that's an option that should be enabled for what I want.
My question: Is it possible to somehow tell Thunderbird to only keep ONE copy of each email in the new folder, without having to move the messages? Haven't found anything related to this problem, which is why I'm asking.

See if this works. Add in filter:
Match all of the following: Tags / doesn't contain / tagname (or "isn't empty" if you don't plan to use tags)
Perform these actions: Tag message / tagname
/jp

Hello, thank you for the anwser, I appreciate it! This is a great idea - here's how I implemented it, for those who might be struggling with the same problem:
- Create a new filter, and name it whatever you want (I choose the name of the person / folder)
- Check Manually Run, Getting New Mail (Filter before...), After Sending, Periodically, every 10 minutes
- Match all: From, To, Cc, or Bcc / *is* / <email address> AND tags / *is empty* AND *is* Read
- Perform these actions: Copy message to / <the folder for the address> AND Tag Message / <a custom tag>
This will find all messages, where the To or From (as well as Cc and Bcc) address contains the address I set, and then tags it with the tag I set. Then it copies the message to the folder, and does so only once, since the message now contains a tag (so the filter won't bother with it).
Just thought I'd explain it in more detail for anyone who needs it. Thanks again, JP!
