Sorry to hear it.. When I upgraded from a much older version, everything kept working just fine, including my many filters. There's probably a simple explanation.

Maybe you can recreate one of your old filters from scratch, then (if it works as expected) compare the old and new versions line by line in a text editor. To copy a filter definition to the clipboard, simply right-click on its name in the Sorting Office and choose Copy.

I gave up.  I deleted all my filters I manually created and right clicked on a message I wanted to filter and filled in the same form.  It works that way.  
I had The Bat v6 for years and stopped paying for updates because of this kind of stuff (and feature removal).  I thought I'd give it another chance.  UGH!

When you go to the Sorting Office of an account where those filters used to work, do you still see your filters in the Incoming Mail category?

If all that is true, I wouldn't know why it doesn't work for you anymore.

Filters are in the incoming mail section and they are all active and not for manual re-filtering only.  So, I found an email that was not filtered, I right clicked it, create filter, and filled in all the things it needs, and that filter works.  Bizarre.

2. I selected None under display ticker.  Would like to see progress of downloading messages, not what's in the bottom status bar.

3. How did I miss that? Thanks.

1. I have created manual filters, but when I get my mail, the filters don't work.
=============

If they're manual, you have to trigger them manually (e.g. through an assigned hotkey or using the Refilter command).
You can access the options of each filter through the sorting office of the account that it's part of.

2. Can the "ticker" be replaced by a dialog box showing progress?
=============

Not that I know of.. but see Options | Prefs | Message List for mail ticker config. Also, you could make the Connection Center show permanently?

3. Can I remove the "quick reply" box below the message?

Some questions about a new install in W10.  I have used V6 for 6 years.

1. I have created manual filters, but when I get my mail, the filters don't work.

2. Can the "ticker" be replaced by a dialog box showing progress?

3. Can I remove the "quick reply" box below the message?
