Filter Support
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» |
