Today, I exited Thunderbird, reviewed all of the message filter data 
files, combined all of the code into one file, and removed the other files:

2024-01-15 12:50:13 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ ll -1 .thunderbird/dpchrist/*/*/msgFilterRules.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 dpchrist dpchrist 1011 2024-01-15 12:43:39 
.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he.net/msgFilterRules.dat

2024-01-15 12:50:51 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ cat .thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he.net/msgFilterRules.dat
version="9"
logging="no"
name="nuke"
enabled="yes"
type="17"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="imap://dpchrist%40holgerdanske.com@november.he.net/nuke"
action="Stop execution"
condition="OR (from,contains,@domain.name) OR 
(from,contains,user@domain.name2)"
name="Inbox-copy"
enabled="yes"
type="17"
action="Copy to folder"
actionValue="imap://dpchrist%40holgerdanske.com@november.he.net/Inbox-copy"
condition="ALL"


The first filter looks for messages from specific domains or from 
specific users.  Matching messages are moved to the IMAP folder "nuke" 
and no more filters are applied to that message.


The second filter copies all other incoming messages to the IMAP folder 
"Inbox-copy".  This provides me with a backup of my incoming messages.


(My outgoing messages are backed up to another e-mail account via Edit 
-> Account Settings -> dpchrist@holgerdanske.com -> Copies & Folders -> 
When sending messages, automatically -> Bcc these email addresses -> 
redacted.user@redacted.domain.name.)


Using Thunderbird -> Tools -> Message Filters -> Filters for -> 
dpchrist@holgerdanske.com, I see a filter "SpamAssassinYes" and then the 
two filters defined above.


When I close the Message Filters dialog and exit Thunderbird, I see:

2024-01-15 12:57:23 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ ll -1 .thunderbird/dpchrist/*/*/msgFilterRules.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 dpchrist dpchrist   25 2024-01-15 12:50:34 
.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he-1.net/msgFilterRules.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 dpchrist dpchrist 1011 2024-01-15 13:07:32 
.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he.net/msgFilterRules.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 dpchrist dpchrist   25 2024-01-15 12:50:36 
'.thunderbird/dpchrist/Mail/Local Folders/msgFilterRules.dat'


Two new files have appeared:

2024-01-15 13:07:39 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ cat .thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he-1.net/msgFilterRules.dat
version="9"
logging="no"

2024-01-15 13:08:20 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ cat '.thunderbird/dpchrist/Mail/Local Folders/msgFilterRules.dat'
version="9"
logging="no"
