Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Hello,
I have several email accounts but I don't need distinct message filters for them. This is how I did it:
When I need to add/change a rule, I edit "my own version" of msgFilterRules.dat by hand, which is symlinked by all email accounts, effectively making the configuration global to all accounts.
I'd like to ask you if quickFilters is able to make definitions "global" to all email accounts.
[ I rated 5 stars since apparently it does much, much more than what I need. I've never used it, actually. ]
Thanks a lot,

...not because all filters are stored per account (server). What you really need is a way to migrate . copy them over. In a way the copy / paste functionality of quickFilters does this, but actions like "move to folder" obviously cannot easily be moved over to another account so you would have to correct these particular ones.
