We need 'Import to All Accounts' and 'Export from All Accounts'

good time saver for my network :)

Cool. It would have been extra nice if the resulting exported file could be saved as a message or a message attachment in the INBOX so that you don't have to transfer it manually. If the filter settings could somehow be stored in the inbox (or any other folder in an IMAP account), and synchronized every time you change or add a filter, you could basically edit the filter wherever you wanted and all your tbird installs would immediately get the changes.

发表于 Jakob Persson 在 2006年10月26日, 12:32 上午 CST #

Nice one, very helpful. Two problems: 1) import always overwrites the current filters, no way to append 2) when you manually merge the exported files this extensions ignores additional filters that have the same name.

When would you make it compatible with T-Bird 2.0 R1? :)

发表于 Zhiwei Sun 在 2007年04月16日, 09:19 上午 CST #

Hi, I do realize that Thunderbird 2.0 only came out a few days ago, but is there any chance that this extension could be updated to work with it. This feature saves a lot of people a lot of headache. Thanks!

发表于 Mark 在 2007年04月19日, 10:43 下午 CST #

I just make it 2.0 compatible. Thanks for your support.

发表于 Wind Li 在 2007年04月20日, 07:29 下午 CST #

I just wanted to echo the request for a 2.0 compatible version of the filter import export feature.

发表于 WIlliam 在 2007年04月21日, 11:47 上午 CST #

Hi, I have exported filters using the old version of your addon for Thunderbird 1.5, but now can't import them back to Thunderbird 2... it says "Import failed..." Is there a way to import filters rules with the 2.0 addon an export file made by your previous addon ?? Thanks Ben

发表于 Benoit B. 在 2007年04月26日, 07:43 下午 CST #

Hi Benoit You can do it by add a line like this to the beginning of your exported file: RootFolderUri=mailfolder

发表于 Wind Li 在 2007年04月26日, 07:48 下午 CST #

wish one button export all filters rather export one by one inconveniently. thx for this ext. anyway! :)

发表于 rio 在 2007年04月27日, 12:30 上午 CST #

Hi rio, Do you mean export all filters from all accounts? If so then this is really missed in this ext. This ext exports all filters for the given account now. Thanks for your support. Wind

发表于 Wind Li 在 2007年04月27日, 02:06 上午 CST #

Why put the Import Filters under Tools, why not add a button under Export in the Message Filters window? Good extension. Thanks.

发表于 Jon Pritchard 在 2007年05月09日, 11:02 上午 CST #

While Message Filters window closed mozilla/thunderbird will overwrite the filters imported. I don't find a way to avoid this. So use a lazy option: not open it and restart the child after importing.

发表于 Wind Li 在 2007年05月09日, 08:59 下午 CST #

Thank-you for explaining, I hope you can further develop this in the future.

Thunderbird version 1.5.0.12 (20070509) complains that it is not compatible - where can I get an older version?

发表于 Bob Wheldon 在 2007年06月08日, 06:58 下午 CST #

You can goto https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2474 to find the new versions and the old versions.

发表于 Wind Li 在 2007年06月08日, 07:19 下午 CST #

Useful extension. It's a silly question may be, but: does your software make a backup of overwritten files? Thanks.

发表于 Fulvio 在 2007年07月03日, 03:04 下午 CST #

Sorry. Not backup.

发表于 Wind Li 在 2007年07月03日, 09:32 下午 CST #

I tried using this extension to add filter functionality not available in the TB 2.0 UI...and it seemed to work. I opened an exported filter file and changed a condition from "OR (cond1) OR (cond2) OR (cond3)" to "OR (cond1) OR (cond2) AND (cond3)" and re-imported it. It seems that the filter now does both AND and OR conditions, which one can't do with the standard Filters... dialogs. For those who know the Thunderbird internal filter code, is that actually possible? Does this allow me to write more GMail-esque filters?

发表于 Jesse 在 2007年07月09日, 11:33 下午 CST #

2 Bugs: 1. When importing it overwrites old filters in that account. 2. When there was a "move to" action "Folder_1 in Account_X" in the filterrule, after import to another account it only says move to: "Account_X" so the folder information is lost.

发表于 GiZ 在 2007年07月18日, 06:50 下午 CST #

oops sorry 2. only happens if importing to an imap account with no such folders created. In the newly created "msgFilterRules.dat" everything is listed correctly

发表于 GiZ 在 2007年07月18日, 06:54 下午 CST #

Thank you from Singapore

发表于 Iwan rahabok 在 2007年10月22日, 10:58 上午 CST #

Problems with exporting and importing filter in the same account. Even if I change filter name it still overwrites my name. I try to change in the Message filter menu name and then renaming exported file and still does not do help.

发表于 jazzybeat 在 2007年11月09日, 02:33 下午 CST #

Yes. You are right. This simple addon will overwrite any exist filters in the target account.

发表于 Wind Li 在 2007年11月09日, 02:39 下午 CST #

Dear wind:
thank you for your efforts! I wish I had found your extension before trying iMap with gmail; reverting to POP3 wiped my filters.
Any chance of updating this extension; it won't install in my Tbird 3.0 (3.0a1pre) ?

thank you!

Plugin has trouble launching Nautilus when it's supposed to prompt for the location of the import/export file. Can this be resolved in a future release?

发表于 Paul 在 2008年02月08日, 06:00 上午 CST #

Hi Paul
I don't think this is a issue of this this plugin. FYI, I am using ubuntu as my desktop. I don't have any issues. And the addon are wrote in js. It's not nautilus aware.

Regards
Wind
