Clarification: This question is about the action of moving a message to "Local Folders". I don't ask how to match messages for filtering, or how to match all messages.

I created a rule that suppose to move the messages to: "Local Folders" > Inbox

enter image description here

The message was NOT moved to the destination.

What I tried:

  • The rule itself - works (I tried with another action, and the action was executed).
  • I changed the destination, to use a subfolder of another account -> the message is moved there byt the filter.
  • I tried to run the rule manually via the Filters dialog
  • I tried to let it run automatically. It didn't matter.
  • The same action can be achieved by hand (i.e. dragging tghe message with the mouse)

Is there something special about Local Folder that messages can't be moved there via filters?

I tried compact folder for each folder, than close and reopen Thunderbid. This way I resolved.

Use "match all messages" but leave the filtering field empty (it's a bug that it's enabled and you can write there).

On my setup it's actually impossible to write conditions text with "match all" flag.

Anyway I tested your rule locally and worked [TB 91.5.0-win64]

    my problem is not the filtering part, but it's the "move to folder" > "Local Folders". Either the filtered email doesn't move at all, or it moves to some strange inaccessible location which crashes thunderbird.
