I have set up a number of Message Filters to automatically run when new email is recieved. None of the run automatically on new email. This is frustrating on it own however I can’t even run them manually on individual filters for the inbox. I have recently moved to Thunderbird for my primary mail client from Mac Mail and definitely like it better, but filters not working and working perfectly in Mac Mail makes it difficult to switch over completely.

Filters are generally highly stable and reliable. Posting a screenshot of the filter may offer some ideas. Thank you.
