Is there a simple way to disable all of the filters for a given account?
Thanks.
Thanks.

In your profile, locate the folder for the account. For a mail account
that folder will be a subfolder in the folder named Mail. For a
newsgroup account, that folder will be a subfolder in the folder named
News.
Locate the file named msgFilterRules.dat. Rename it to
x-msgFilterRules.dat-x. That eliminates all filters in that account.
When you open that account, an empty file msgFilterRules.dat will be
created.
When you want resto9re your old filters, terminate Thunderbird. Delete
the file msgFilterRules.dat. Rename x-msgFilterRules.dat-x back to
msgFilterRules.dat.
Remember, the renaming of the file of filters needs to be done when
Thunderbird is terminated.

filters use customized headers, that processing will be quite slow even
if the filters are disabled. See bug #622484 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622484>. My suggestion to
rename the file of filters mitigates that problem.

Doesn't that involve more than one or two clicks along with some typing.

other folders. Several clicks to disable all filters.
With this newsgroup server only one filter account wide to filter many
different messages to "Mark as Read" and "Delete". Three clicks to
disable the filter. Four if I close the Message Filters window.
So, it depends on the use case.

elsewhere in this thread, even disabled filters are processed if there
are any custom headers in the filters. My method ensures that there is
no processing of disabled filters.

list (under the "Match all of the following" radio button), you get a
standard list of about five headers. Below that list, there is an
option for "Customize" with which you can indicate other headers (e.g.,
User-Agent, Injection-Info, NNTP-Posting-Host).
When you create a custom header for a filter, you must use the exact
character string that you would see in the message source. Thus,
"User-Agent" is valid while "User agent string" is not valid.

create a top filter with selections;
(*) Match all messages
Preform these actions:
Move messages to [your desired destination folder]
to make rest of filters active, disable the filter.

I do believe that will prevent any other filters from executing when it

action to Move the messages to some other folder - the messages wouldn't
be in the Inbox where he wants them.
In other words, he didn't want to move them or (apparently) do anything
else to them, which is why I suggested just 'Stop filter execution'...

folders. The "Match all messages" will move ALL messages from my Inbox
to a "desired destination folder". But that folder is not where I want
those messages to end up eventually. I want each to be in the folder
that it would have been in had I not used "Match all messages".

Which misses the point... he did not want this filter to move them to

He simply wanted an easy way to disable all filters for any given

it works as I didn't test it)...

It is applied to every message in all the newsgroups that received new
messages since its creation, including these messages!

so, you have a folder named *desired destination folder*?

I don't use them anymore, but, you can have multiple newsgroups all
under one server (ie, many even dozens of mozilla newsgroups) - so, if
that is the common denominator, then presumably a filter for one
newsgroup will affect all newsgroups for the one newsgroup server?
Can't test to confirm though since I don't use them any more...
