I'm trying to create a Thunderbird filter that moves all emails from a certain coworker addressed only to me to a special folder and I can't figure out how to get it to work.
The first thing I tried is the following, which is the most straightforward, I guess:
This does not behave as expected in that messages with several people in the to
field will also be moved by this filter.
But again no luck. The cc
is filtered correctly, not so the to
. Messages with more than one recipient, despite having a ',' in the to
field get moved as before.
I'm a little bit confused by this. Is there something obvious I'm missing or is the Thunderbird filtering just bugged? Because these filters clearly don't behave is I would expect them to behave.
I'm running 45.4.0 if that helps and I only have very restricted rights as this is on an institute machine, so I can't install extensions.
4My bet would be that the "," won't actually be in the field, it's just a visual separator in the UI, so the filter can't filter on it. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2016-10-26T20:03:39.010
Hm, that's a good point. Do you have any idea what one could filter for then? – user35915 – 2016-10-26T20:05:00.343
1@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 I can filter for ',' in the 'to' field, actually. It's only the 'doesn't contain ,' which does not work for some reason. – user35915 – 2016-10-27T12:07:46.307
