message filter wait function
I'm looking for a message filter function that will wait a specified period of time before performing what the rest of the filter does whatever it is tasked to do. For instance, I want to have an incoming message sit in the inbox until it moves to a local folder some time later. This would allow me to see it from a device that can't see local folders (like a mobile phone). I can't find anything in extensions. Any thoughts?

what works depends on your choice of IMAP or POP.
IMAP is syncronised and therefore does not use local folders.
POP has no link with the server once the email is downloaded, but it does allow you to specify a retention on the server in days or until you delete them from Thunderbird. SO you could use POP and set it to delete the email from the server after 1 day, so they would be thee for 24 hours on your phone for instance.
