Hi, I've been setting several filters on TB and many of them are set in order to manage multiple forwards of shipping notifications and they worked fine until February 2nd then only these ones suddenly stopped working. I tried to add the question an example of the non working filters, but there's to be some issues in images adding procedure so I'll describe one of them. FILTER #01 - When apply filter: Manually, downloading new mail/before spam check; - Meets all the conditions: 1. Subject/Contains/Shipping ref.; 2. Body/Contains/Recipient name; 3. Sender/Contains/Sender email address. - Perform these actions: 1. Forward to; 2. Label message; 3. Mark as read.

I sincerely hope that someone can help me. Thank you!

Found! There has to be a bug in v. 52.6.0 (self installed on Feb. 5th) that interacts with some of those filters therefore I downloaded and installed a previous version (52.5.0), and disabled automatic updates waiting for a non-bugged future version. Now I just have to wait for next emails...

52.6.0 fixed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259534 referred to in release notes https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/52.6.0/releasenotes/

Are you filtering messages from an imap account? Or a pop account?

Beta installed but those kind of filters still do not work, and I found the specific bug: from v. 52.6.0 TB is no more able to filter by email body content. Is there any manual setting to work on?

I meant that I found where's the bug but no one has categorized nor solved it yet. The latest version still has that problem.
