How to import/export filters between accounts in Thunderbird

Question

I have many fiters and a new mail account. Now I need to transfer them. I already tried the outdated plugin mentioned in Export Thunderbird filters to import them in gmail - but it doesn't work with my up-to-date Thunderbird version anymore.

Do I need to copy/paste some profile files or is there no way to copy/move filters from one account to another?

Answer 1

Copy msgfilterrules.dat from one profile folder to the other, it's that simple!
