If you want to duplicate an accounts filters in another account you don't need to create them again. Exit Thunderbird and copy the "msgFilterRules.dat" file instead. If the account is in another profile and it uses custom headers you will also need to copy the mailnews.customHeaders setting from prefs.js.

Thank you for your answer, but that replaces/deletes the existing message rules of the target account!
If you want to maintain an individual set of filters for different accounts you'll probably have to manually create those filters per account.
