![]() Jeroen_NL appears to be completely right about the pattern to the bug, as I do recall that sometimes I have opened the filter list afterward, more often I have not, and thus this would explain why some are saved and some are lost. ![]() I have examined the msgFilterRuls.dat file in Local Folders and verified that it does not contain the rules. If I then run the filter at that time, it works fine, but there is a not-yet-determined chance that the next time I start Thunderbird 1.0, it will not only not run that filter when I "Run Filters on Folder", but that the filter will not even *exist*! Thus I can sort my conversations with people by running this filter on my Sent folder and my Local Folders Inbox. I almost always define the filter for "Match Any", with both "Sender Is (AddressOfPerson)" and "To Is (AddressOfPerson)", with "Move To Folder" checked and defined as a folder for mail just for/from that person or group. What happens is that I will create a new Filter or two, usually (but not always) by rightclicking the email address in a message window and choosing Create Filter From Message. ![]() I do it this way because I *don't* want them to run automatically, only when I choose. I am using all filters in my Local Folders section of the filters dialog, none are in individual accounts. I have also noticed this problem of vanishing filters.
