Windows 10 22H2 Thunderbird 102.7.2

For the past two or three days, some messages that should be filtered into various folders are remaining in the in box. However, when I manually run the individual filters they do put the messages into the proper folder. I have two accounts with filters, a windstream.net account that has 36 filters and a gmail.com account that has 10 filters. Only the windstream email account seems to be affected, and some of the filters in that account may still be working, although every email that has come in today has gone into the in box. All my filters have both "when manually run" and "when getting new mail" checked.

I'm not sure when Thunderbird last updated, but I was wondering if this new behavior could be related to an update, because I'm not aware of any other variable factors that could affect the filters. I've been using Thunderbird for a long time, probably 15-20 years, and the filters have been in place for a long time as well.

Any insight into this will be appreciated.

Thanks, Michael
