Re: [TCML] Thunderbird email filters

["Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thunderbird filtering is pretty easy. Here's what I did.

Create a directory called TCML as a top level directory.

In Thunderbird, click on the top level account (usually your email 
address). This will bring up the page for settings for the account. At 
the bottom of the main page is an area called "Advanced Features". Click 
on "manage message filters" to bring up the dialog.

When the dialog appears, click "New". Another dialog appears for the 
filter assignments. Give the filter a name like "TCML".

Make sure the filter is set to look in the "subject" line and is set for 
"contains". Then type in "[TCML]" in the next box. Make sure the check 
box for "Match all of the following" is checked. Now, set the action. My 
action is "Move messages to" then browse to the directory you want the 
messages to move to (in that top level TCML directory).

Then after you download new messages, go up to the "Tools" menu and 
click "Run Filters on Folder". This will move all messages in your inbox 
to the new TCML directory and leave all the other spam untouched. Works 
for me.

Take care,
Bart
