Bug Description

Version: 0.8-2ubuntu1

When I right-click an email adress to create a filter, "Create filter from
message" is grey and unclickable.

I have not had this problem with previous thunderbird versions (on other distros).

I just tried creating filters using "Tools" > "Message filters". And when I
click "Run filters on folder", nothing happens.

Just to clarify:
Emails that arrive after I have set up the filter get filtered correctly. I
suppose this has something to do with merging the mail folders into "Local Folders".

All this works for me just fine. Please test moving your ~/.mozilla-thunderbird
out the way and then trying.

Please get this version, and restart thunderbird.

Neither moving .mozilla-thunderbird or upgrading helped.

Are you accessing your mail remotely (through IMAP) or is this for folders
stored locally?

I am, like Thom, unable to reproduce the problem.

I can't reproduce this in current breezy, not even on a clean install.

I'm closing this bug, please reopen it if you can still reproduce this in current
breezy.
