Sorry, but I don't think my case is the same of bug 119899.
Users says filters doen't work when they click on "Run Filters on Folder".
Chris Cheney said:
At closer inspection it appears that the ability to run filters against a folder in particular in "Message Filters" and "Run Filters on Folder" is broken but that automatic filtering based on the same filters works.

My problem is a little bit different: Run Filter move imap's unread messages. If I read messages with browser and (then) I download messages with thunderbird, downloaded unread messages won't be moved on respectly folder

Unread messages won't work or read messages won't work?

Unread masseges are filtered, but readed (from browser, i.e.) messages aren't filtered

Same here.

1 - read an email in the browser
2 - let Thunderbird sync over IMAP.

==> the read email doesn’t get any filters applied.

I filter on "from, to, cc or Bcc".
