I just downloaded Thunderbird for my Win PC. Win 10 Home, 64 bit. I have gmail downloading or linked to my PC. I then created some folders in Inbox then went up to the Tools menu, Message filters.

Did the Filter name - Manually Run - Getting New Mail

Match all of the following: From - Contains - Amazon.com

Move Message to - Amazon on XXXX@xxxx.com

Click OK

Back on Message filters window the "Run Now" is light gray? I can't press it and the Choose Folder only allows Trash or Outbox, no other box. Filters for: Local Folders

Not crazy about reinstalling as it took 2 days to download all the files from gmail. 

I did everything correctly (I think) so I'm not sure why it isn't working.  I restarted my computer and same thing.   Any help?  Bueller?

When you open Tools/Message Filters, the Filters for drop-down at the top should have the gmail account selected, not Local Folders, if you want the filter to act on the gmail Inbox.
