Thunderbird Not Running Filters on Incoming POP

[Simon Windsor]

Hi

After many years using Netscape Mail, Kmail, Outlook, Evolution and now 
Thundebird I came to my senses 5 years ago and put all my filters into a 
.forward file. No matter what mail client I use, it all filtered 
correctly, and consistantly.
