Faster way to create many filters in Thunderbird
What is the fastest way to create a message filter in Thunderbird?
I started sorting mail via filters, and I have to create 10+ filters a day. I was unable to find a way to (for example) right-click on the folder and then to create a new message filter for that folder.
The fastest way I found is selecting a message, then Message -> Create filter from message. I wasn't able to find any add-on which could facilitate this.

You may be able to use a message filter import/export extension. With one you might be able to hand code filters and then import them into TB. Here's a link to one I found.

Sure, install my addon quickFilters. You can set it up to start up automatically and suggest adding a new filter whenever you move an email. It also prefills the filter action and conditions depending on a selected template. I guarantee this is the fastest way to create new filters. (drag-click-click or click-click-click if the mail was already moved to the new location).
