Hi,

After downloading and installing the latest version. 102.3.1 (32bit), yesterday.

Today when running after the update yesterday, the automatic filters function no longer works. it states that the appropriate directory does not exist and as consequence I have a large number (> 50) of new messages in my INBOX, instead of being sorted into Customers sub directories, Suppliers sub directories, etc,.

I noted that in the download page, it mentioned addressbook changes, & filter changes. These errors may be be related to these comments but unfortunately I did not printout that page.

I have additional add-ons installed including quick-filters.

Help, I have gone from a working TBird to what is described as a non-working one. Since I use "filters" to prioritise emails and therefore my response time.

While sending this another 20 emails have arrived.

This is almost the upgrade/ changes many versions back.!!

Best Wishes Jim

The only filter change I know of any signficance in the entire 102 lineage came in 102.3.0 "Delete from POP Server mail filter rule intermittently failed to trigger" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1789418

But it is possible there are other bugs.

> it states that the appropriate directory does not exist

Can you give me an example of the exact and full directory path. You can PM me if you don't want to post it in public. Thanks.

p.s. also helpful would be a sample from your msgfilters.dat file. This is found in the Thunderbird profile, an a directory related to the mail account.

The relevant lines are action=... actionValue=...
