Thunderbird message filter "Run Now" button grayed out?
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.

Thank you so much, I feel like a jelly doughnut for something so simple. Have an awesome day!
