User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212 The menu item 'Run Filters on Selected Folder' consistently and properly executes the active filters. However, the 'Run Now' button on the Filters window, which should theoretically function identically for a single filter (rather than all of them) does not always work. In a folder with 3 filters, I was modifying one filter and running it repeatedly. Even though there was absolutely no doubt it matched some of the messages in the selected folder, the filter log was empty and none of the messages were affected by the filter action... SOMETIMES. I modified and re-ran the filter (with the Run Now button) over a dozen times with many variations of filters. All the filters were simple, with only a single clearly defined match parameter. I used several different types of match parameters. Sometimes the same filter which worked previously did not at a later point... clicking Run Now did nothing, where in an earlier attempt it affected the appropriate messages. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create several message rules for your primary (first) set of mail folders. I do not know if several rules are required to reproduce the problem, but I have several. 2. Modify the first rule several times, tailoring it to match a different set of emails each time. Suggested filters include Junk Status, Subject matching (those were the primary filters I was using during my testing). Suggested actions are changing the priority of the message... so you don't alter any important mail inadvertantly. 3. After every change, select the filter and click 'Run Now'. View the log to see if it affected any email. Changes to message priority will not appear until you click back on the primary mail window (lazy updating). Actual Results: The filter does not affect any mail a significant percentage of the time, despite clearly matching emails. Expected Results: The filter should run every time, affecting email every time the Run Now button is pressed. With this bug in place, there is no reliable and easy way to run only a single filter on a selected folder.

It happened every time for me, until I noticed that I didn't have a folder specified for 'Manually run selected filter(s) on folder'. As long as I specify a folder, the 'Run Now' button works fine. Maybe if the top-level mail account is selected (instead of, say, 'Inbox'), it should run on all the folders for that account???

WFM - 2003013108 Reporter: Do you still see this problem with a recent build? Comment 1 was probably bug 189232

No response for the past five months. Marking WFM. Reporter: please reopen if you can still reproduce this with a recent build (Mozilla 1.4 or higher)
