GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 501479
button to run message filters on demand
Last modified: 2011-05-27 06:08:14 UTC
Please add a button similar to the one in Thunderbird to the Filters dialog to allow running filters on the inbox(es). Rationale: Newly created filters are often to solve an existing problem that one doesn't want to fix manually.
just save the filter, mark all messages, and and choose "message -> apply filters".
