Avoid Empty Conditions list due to removed recipients - filter cannot be edited #23
Comments
I will log this as enhancement. Hopefully I will be able to address it once we have quickFilters compatible with Thunderbird 78. |
As a quick workaround: should we return to the assistant where the filter template is selected if the conditions list will be empty? One could show a message: with the current filter template "by recipients", no meaningful filter conditions can be created, please select a different template. |
Here is my solution. Instead of creating a nonsensical filter that cannot be edited and wasting the users time, I display this message: Trial version (Tb78): Trial version (Tb68): |
Implemented in releases 4.5 + 5.2 |
For some reason, the past few times I used quickFilters to create a filter, the condition was unintentionally set to Recipient.

This creates a filter with no conditions and no way to create a condition.
After this window is dismissed, a message (that doesn't appear in a screen capture!) appears saying "quickFilters Email addresses were omitted from the conditions - quickFilt..."
Actually, it would be best if the message were issued before the first quickFilters popup is dismissed, or prevented the popup from being dismissed.
I hope this helps make quickFilters better!
