Steps to reproduce:

Right click on a folder in the folderpane

Actual results:

Context menu items: Open in New Tab, Open in New Window, Search Messages..., New Folder..., Compact, Mark Folder Read, Favorite Folder, Properties

Expected results:

Would like Run Filters on Folder (Alt T, R) to be an option for the context menu

Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+key or Ctrl+Shift+key) would be nice too. Message Filters feels buried in Thunderbird, and there are no keyboard shortcuts to use them. I would personally prefer them to be above the line in the hamburger menu instead of in the Tools menu, if possible.

I use them frequently to automatically tag messages in my inbox, and move specific messages to archival folders (such as receipts). I don't know what the usage statistics look like for the filters feature. Am I an odd duck?
