Filtering does not work automatically for me in any recent version up to
9.0.1.  I have filters that are correctly formulated, and a few messages
are automatically filtered.  The vast majority are not.   I have to run
all the filters manually.  It's depressing that software seems to spend
untold effort on questionable UI changes while basic functionality
continues to be faulty over many years.

Title:
  After-the-fact Filters on custom header won't match for IMAP messages

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Message filtering appears to be broken on Thunderbird
  2.0.0.4~rc1-0ubuntu1 in Gutsy with IMAP. I created a filter for the
  warthogs list and it would not move the messages from my inbox to the
  folder I had created. It also did not put anything into the filter
  log. I tried using the Thunderbird on Feisty with my laptop and it
  worked fine when using the same settings. Chris Jones mentioned he
  also noticed the same or perhaps a similar issue today.
