Thunderbird message filters

[Claude Jones]

In the version of Thunderbird that comes packed with FC3, I'm having a 
puzzling problem. I've created filters for the inbox and if I actuate 
them manually they work. In the filters management window, they are set 
to run automatically. Yet, they won't. They only work if I manually 
click on the command. Does anyone know what's up? I've checked the 
faq's, the help files, all the settings, and I can't figure out what is 
missing...
