Thunderbird message filters

[Timothy Ha]

What is worse, when you choose from Message, Create filter, you can't 
specify an account you want to use the filter with. It goes for Local 
folders. And once a filter is created, you can use the Filters window to 
change the filter from Local folders to some account.

This is why I can't use the new Global inbox feature. If I use it, I 
have to create filters manually, not by Message/Create filters like above.
