Thunderbird does not always tag messages when moving Sent mail to another folder
Thunderbird 60.7.0 (32-bit) on Windows 10 Pro 1809 (64-bit). After sending an email, the message filter always correctly moves the email from the Sent to Family folder. However, it occasionally does not add the "Family" tag. Seems to happen ~30% of the time. Image of filter attached.

given the actions are supposed to occur in the order they appear on the list, the tag should be added before the message is moved.
I do wonder what the point of tags with the same tag and the folder is though.
Hi Matt,
Thunderbird will sometimes complain about out-of-order actions and tell you what it's actually going to do. This does not appear to be one of those occasions.
The point of the tags is to identify family email by color in the unified Inbox, which includes the Family folder.

I have to ponder why, but do you have anything like an anti virus that might be scanning your mail files when they are updated. This sounds like a timing issue perhaps it might be 2 or three mails to the same folders in short order sees the file locked by the anti virus while the tagging part is failing.
The next version will apparently have better logging of filter actions, but that is not really going to help much now.
