There should be more actions and more ways to select when the filters occur First, a user should set when the filter occurs - such as at a specified time, or when a specified action has occured (such as deleting), or when new messages arrive, or a specific time, etc - not just when new messages arrive. Also, more options should be given of actions. I am going to also add enhancement bugs on how to integrate macros and filters (I don't mean finding the area under the macros and filters functions silly :) Perhaps filters could be renamed to rules so that people are not confused by the ability to do more than just searching - or maybe that isn't necessary.

Changed the Summary

please file specific bugs on the features you are expecting... if you're looking for ideas, that's what newsgroups are for.

This is a specific bug. This mostly has to do with the ability to set triggers for a filter since currently filters can be only triggered by new email. Reopening.

Marking invalid - I will write a new bug that is more specific.
