Mozilla Mail mail filter file?
Running 9.2 I have used the GUI message filters substantially and currently have over 100 filters. Some of these filters uncheck themselves and so they are not run the next time a message that matches the filter criteria is received. I am assuming that the details I have entered via the GUI are stored in a text file and I would like to start editing that file directly. I have done some searching through ~/ I have not been able to locate a file that holds the filter information, even in ~/.mozilla. Is my assumption right that I can edit the filters in a text file and if so where/what is this this file called?

Google is your friend: training.dat -> junk system msgFilterRules.dat -> messages filters (oddly enough) http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/arch/filters/ http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.7.13/installation.html http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/arch/spam/ -- "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them."

Yes, you are correct- msgFilterRules.dat is the one for filtering mail into "pigeon holes" and this one is editable. Cheers. -- I was very heavily into pornography. Then my pornograph broke.

Yes, you are correct- msgFilterRules.dat is the one for filtering mail into "pigeon holes" and this one is editable. That msgFilterRules.dat file is a ghastly file to edit though when I had a look at it. Isn't there a simpler way ie entering csv values into a test file.
Cheers.
