Email Filters - Moving emails to a Folder but an option to NOT stop looking for other matching filters if the first filter matches

Is there an option or way of MOVING emails to a Folder defined in the Filters but KEEP looking for other matching filters if the first filter matches. If there is, I can't find it. At the moment I have to use 'Copy To' so the email gets copied to ALL the the matching filters and then go to the Inbox and delete the source one there. In an old email software I PRIMARILY use, called Virtual Access, Thunderbird 'Filters' are called 'Rules' I have attached a screen shot of the 'Rule' page in which you see that the Rule (aka Filter) is to 'Place' (aka Move) the message in a Folder and the option to 'Stop looking for other matching rules if this rue matches' is unticked.

In passing, the other reason for continuing using Virtual Access, is that it you can manipulate Threads. You can re-thread an email in a Folder (but only in that folder) to another email, provided the email to be re-threaded is more recent than the one you want to re-thread it to. You can also make an email a Root email (an unthreaded email) within the folder.

Filters execute in an independent manner one after the other. So if a mail leaves the folder, it is simply not there for the next filter to find it.

Thanks Matt, So the only workaround is what I am doing, being 'Copying To' and then deleting the email in the Inbox. So, perhaps something for the Wish List, where emails of 'PLACED' in all folders in the filter, rather than 'Moved' and if there is no matching filter, left in the Inbox. IE after any and all PLACED actions completed, not left in the Inbox. All best, Jonathon
