Thunderbird message filters to detect and process events

[SethFalco]

Thunderbird currently displays a purple notice/UI when the message has a calendar event attached.

There are some events that I expect to received and wish to automatically process. For example, deliveries, appointments, meeting invites from work domains, etc.

I believe some platforms like Outlook/Gmail already have logic for automagically processing events, like putting Amazon deliveries in the calendar.

Could we please be able to configure this in message filters where I could do something like:

• If email is customerservices@ocado.com
• And has a calendar event

Then:

• Mark as read
• Add the event to a specific calendar
• Archive the message

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

The ability to filter emails containing event information (invitations, updates, deletions) is a fundamental option in working environments and would undoubtedly facilitate the spread of Thunderbird beyond mere personal use.

I also strongly support the request to add this capability, particularly considering that this operation cannot currently be easily implemented with the standard filters already available.
