User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:11.0) Gecko/20120315 Firefox/11.0 SeaMonkey/2.8 Build ID: 20120315222422 Steps to reproduce: Setting up filters to move incoming email into specific folders automatically. The implemented function worked perfectly, no complaints at all. However I would like to have the ability to apply any given, established filter across multiple email accounts. Actual results: I receive email messages from numerous senders, on multiple accounts. I set up filters to move these messages from their respective accounts, into one folder on my machine, for organizational purposes. I have to create the same filter - and hope I get it right, for >25 "from" addresses.... - for more than one account. Expected results: When selecting Tools/Message Filters, instead of having the drop-down box "Filters for:" on that form, move it to the "Edit" form, and using a dynamically created list, be able to add a check box (or other selection tool) to enable the filter for any combination of accounts.
Don't really need to move the "Filters for:" drop box if you can select and save the info on each filter in the list, based on it's focus in that window on the main form.
