The sophistication of the underlying Thunderbird filter system has not yet progressed to match that of classic Eudora (i.e. ≤E7.1). Because of this, some of the filter conditions, operators, and actions will not be imported, though the filter containing them will be imported.
The following charts diagram the classic Eudora filter system elements and the state of their support in Eudora 8 and beyond, given in the order in which they appear in the respective application.
Mail Headers
| Mail Header | Supported in ≥E8 | Label in ≥E8 |
|---|---|---|
| To: | To | |
| From: | From | |
| Subject: | Subject | |
| Cc: | Cc | |
| Reply-To: | ||
| «Any Header» | ||
| «Body» | Body | |
| «Any Recipient» | Intersects From, To, Cc or Bcc which adds the From header which was not supported in the ≤E7.1 selector | |
| «Personality» | ||
| «Junk Score» |
Eudora 8/Penelope adds the following header selectors not found in classic Eudora:
- Priority
- Status
- To or Cc
- From, To, Cc or Bcc
- Age in Days
- Size (KB)
- Tags
Logical Conditions
| Logical Conditions | Supported in ≥E8 | Label in ≥E8 |
|---|---|---|
| contains | contains | |
| doesn't contain | doesn't contain | |
| is | is | |
| is not | isn't | |
| starts with | begins with | |
| ends with | ends with | |
| appears | ||
| doesn't appear | ||
| intersects nickname | ||
| doesn't intersect nickname | ||
| intersects address book | is in my address book * | |
| doesn't intersect address book | isn't in my address book * | |
| matches regexp (case insensitive) | ||
| matches regexp |
* These logical conditions only appear when a recipient header has been selected.
Logical Operators
| Logical Operators | Supported in ≥E8 | Label in ≥E8 |
|---|---|---|
| ignore | ||
| and | Match all of the following | |
| or | Match any of the following | |
| unless |
Filter Actions
| Filter Actions | Supported in ≥E8 | Label in ≥E8 |
|---|---|---|
| Make Status | Intersects Mark as Read only. ≤E7.1 also allowed Unread, Replied, Forwarded, and Redirected | |
| Make Priority | Mostly intersects ≤E7.1's Set Priority To, except for the omission of the Raise and Lower priority settings | |
| Make Label | Tag Message | |
| Make Personality | ||
| Make Subject | ||
| Play Sound | ||
| Speak | ||
| Open | ||
| Notify User | ||
| Notify Application | ||
| Forward To | Forward to | |
| Redirect To [aka Turbo Redirect] | ||
| Reply with | Reply with Template | |
| Server Options | Split into two separate top level actions – Delete from POP Server and Fetch from POP Server – instead of making those same actions available as submenu selectors | |
| Copy To | Copy to | |
| Transfer To | Move to | |
| Junk | Set Junk Status to allows for a Not Junk setting which was not available in ≤E7.1 | |
| Skip Rest | Stop Filter Execution |
Eudora 8/Penelope adds the following filter actions not found in classic Eudora:
- Add Star
- Delete Message
Delete Message could be accomplished in ≤E7.1 by simply transferring to Trash, but did not exist as a unique action.
