Thunderbird Message Filter Import/Export is a thunderbird/mozilla extension to import/export message filters. You can to Support Thunderbird Filter Import/Export.
You may also want to try our another Firefox Add-on AutoPager.
AutoPager is a Firefox extension which automatically loads the next page of a site inline when you reach the end of the current page for infinite scrolling of content.
By default AutoPager works with a ton of sites, including Lifehacker, the New York Times, Digg, and, of course, Google.
The problem is that Customized headers are not ported, so the following will happen: I am filtering on a custom header to trap spam in Windows, and when I port to the Mac, the filter does come across successfully, but without any knowledge of the custom header, and instead the first header - Subject - is inserted in its place. This, not suprisingly, plays havoc with the filtering, but *there isn't any warning* and one could lose lots of mail before realizing what is going on...especially when the spam folder deletes after 1 day (say).

Good program.. Works very well. i would just like to see 1 filters that can be used to control multiple accounts instead of a seperate filter for each account.

I second J's comment below. I use Thunderbird to manage email from 3 different accounts with a set of filters that is common to all accounts. I would like to be able to say a filter set is "Common" instead of applying to XXX@gmail.com and YYY@ZZZ.com etc.
Don't know if you did the autopager add-in for FF that is advertised on this page but it is terrific, if you did that one too, thank you.

Hi Mark
This may need thunderbird to support. You can submit a request for thunderbird at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/.
If you use all the same filters for all the accounts then you can try this addon to export and import the filters to sync up the filters.

- Idea like "Kolab"
|2009-02-25 15:11:08
Whats about this Idea: Add an option to store the filter not as file but as IMAP-Message in an IMAP-Folder (like for example SyncKolab does it when syncronizing Adresses)?
So it would be possible to Sync folders on different machines if they are connected to the same IMAP-Account

Good idea. I am thinking about this too. But I hadn't able to find time to look at it.
Thanks for referring SyncKolab. I will have a look at it and find out how to implement the functions.

- Thunderbird 3.0b2?
|2009-04-14 06:26:53
With Thunderbird 3.0b2 it tel me that I can't use this addon, but if I remember goo only this version of thnderbird has more advanced filters of emals.
The extension installed fine on my XP laptop. But on my Vista desktop, Thunderbird extension installer says "waiting" and nothing happens. The main reason for my interest in it is to export from my laptop all the filter settings to my new Vista machine, so this is a disappointment. Any help will be appreciated.
The Thunderbird version on my Vista desktop is 2.0.0.21.

It was a great extension. Then this morning I upgraded and suddenly every time I open Thunderbird, your extension opens a browser window to your site.
It might as well be fu**ing spyware....

- Can't import filters to TB 3.0
|2009-12-14 07:09:34
Hi,
I installed the extension on Thunderbird 2 and have successfully exported filters of "local folders" (which are the only filters I have). I can read the exported file and it seems OK. I then upgraded to TB 3.0 (the official new release)and have naturally lost all the filters.
I tried to import the filters: Tools -> import filters. I chose "Local Folders", and got to the window: "import message filters from a file" where I chose the "filters" (exported) file. I got the message "Import Finished. Do you want to restart your Mozilla/Thunderbird now?". I clicked OK, TB restarted, but no filters were available.
Any idea what went wrong?

Could you please try this?
1. In thunderbird addons, try to check update for the addons, update them if there are updates.
2. Try to create some filters before import the filters.
3. Fully restart Thunderbird. Use your task manager to kill any thunderbird threads if there are.
Let us know if that doesn't work.
Thanks

I think I found a "bug" ... with Thunderbird 3.
If you are in say account ABC and say import filters. It comes up with a little popup window showing a drop-down box showing "ABC" with an [Import] button beside it. If you just click [Import] it seems to import into "Local Folders". If you click the drop-down and select "ABC" and then click import, it imports into "ABC". Took me a good few hours to get it right.
You can now update to
