Broken Filters - Moved folders & didn't autoupdate as stated. Now, messages either don't move at all or don't move to the specified subfolder of the folder
154.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11
My filters are broken in Thunderbird. I have deleted and recreated some to no avail.
I moved some folders from Local to under my inbox and it said it would update the filters automatically, but noticed it didn't do this. Looking at the Filter Rules it just left either the first or second column of Perform these actions under the Filter Rules empty rather than updating them. I tried moving the folders back to see if the filters would then work, but it's a mixed bag. Some filter properly and others only go under say Newsletters, but don't filter into Newsletters > Adobe for example. Others just sit in the inbox. I've tried moving some rules to the top of the list hoping that'd give them priority to be run first, but it hasn't helped. I have a lot of filters setup to help me track newsletters, classes, meetings, job applications, etc. I've missed some responses for a couple of days because of this. Any suggestions?
So I don't miss anyone, thanks in advance.

First, it will help us if you point out the page that says filters are automatically updated so we're on the same page. Did you move these filters under windows file explorer. Please share some details. Thanks
I did. As I stated, I moved them from under Local Folders to under my Inbox. I did this within Thunderbird, just click and drag. When I did this a popup came up saying that filters would automatically be updated.
Are you using an addon, such as quickfilters? I am not aware of this as a native feature of Thunderbird.
The only thing I currently have installed is DKIM Verifier, which is a featured add-on.

I previously had ImportExportTools NG, but that has been removed.
Okay, maybe I"m just brain-dead today. That happens too often. Would you be able to do a screenshot if where you do the filter move? That may unclog my brain. thanks.
