Hello,
This is the first time I am posting to this forum. Firstly, thank you for creating and maintaining hMailServer. It is a fantastic mail server.
I have the following scenarios:
I use Thunderbird as the mail client.
Two accounts are setup on Thunderbird:
1. Smtp account connected to an external mail provider
2. IMAP account connected to hMailserver (local server running Windows 10)
When Smtp account receives an email:
Scenario 1 - Message filter is setup to blindly "Copy" all message to hMailserver.
Scenario 2 - Message filter is setup to blindly "Forward" all message to hMailserver.
On the hMailserver, I created account rules to move the messages to different IMAP folder based on certain subject and who sent the email.
In scenario 1, the account rules did not work(I did not see any log in the log file) and messages were not moved.
Whereas in scenario 2, the rules were applied (it was indicated in the log).
Can any one confirm if account rules are NOT supposed to run in scenario 1?
Please let me know if I am not making sense or this is not the right platform for this question.
thank you.

Re: Rules processing (forward vs copy)
So how is the SMTP account connected to hMailserver? How is hMailserver getting this mail? Via a thunderbiord rule?mmpfred wrote: ↑2019-06-15 01:18I use Thunderbird as the mail client.

Why are you setting account rules on hmailserver?
But, Aren't you copying the message using thunderbird rules?
I'm really lost.
Why don't you ALSO use hmailserver's external account to download mail from the SMTP server, and then run your rules in hMailserver

Re: Rules processing (forward vs copy)
Correct. All emails are Forwarded (Scenario 1) or Copied (Scenario 2) to hMailServer via Thunderbird message filters.
Sorry...that is because I haven't given you any explanation.
I inherited this setup from my predecessor. My PC (so as other people in the organization) is currently receiving email from the service provider via POP3. There is no server, just a bunch of PCs in a workgroup.
I setup hMailServer in hope to move the emails to the server. Once hMailServer goes live, the POP3 access will be terminated (for all PCs) and hMailServer will receive all eMails and everyone will connect to hMailServer via IMAP.
As part of the test phase (and pre-populate hMailServer), emails are copied to hMailServer via Thunderbird message filters. Rules are setup on the hMailServer to move email around so that they are a bit more organized.
I was not able to get the rules to move the emails around until I changed the Thrunderbird filter to 'Forward' email to hMailServer.
I didn't think of that option and I don't know how to do that. Can I do that via POP3? Would you provide some instructions please?
I can access the email from my service provider via either POP3 or IMAP. My predecessor had huge problem with IMAP previously so I am not willing to risk anything at the moment.
Thank you for your help.
Re: Rules processing (forward vs copy)
Each account on hMailserver has an External accounts tab
