(In reply to Wayne Mery (:wsmwk) from comment #15)
Thomas can you reproduce this?
It's not a bug. Filter does exactly as told, to copy message when criteria are matching. So running that manually and repeatedly will obviously create multiple copies. Which for production profiles may not be very useful - hence this RFE.
-
This doesn't reproduce for me on when the copy target was Gmail/Templates on 102.2.1 (64-bit), Win10 (I guess Google refuses to create duplicates).
-
But it does reproduce for copy target Local Folders/test, so essentially it does happen.
-
If filter dialog isn't closed and
Run now
clicked several times from the open dialog, the status bar counter starts lying that more and more messages get copied (adds number of matching messages each time): Copied 3 [6/9/12] messages from Inbox to Templates. So there's a bug in the counter (needs a new bug).
Given the very low interest, no duplicates, no votes, and the somewhat edge case nature of this, I doubt that we'd want to invest resources here. Instead, we should enable users to create the desired filter themselves using the custom tag
solution even when they have multiple filter criteria. So imo this is wontfix and then becomes a duplicate of bug 297852 (see Aceman's comment 13), where resources would be much better placed.
Sadly, we also do not have a filter action "Remove tag" (nor "Remove star"), which would obviously make sense for rule-based tag/star management (needs a new RFE if we don't have one).

The Filtaquilla addon provides the "Remove tag" feature and many more filter actions.
