Using Thunderbird 102.9.0 (64-bit), Windows 10

To clarify what I mean in my title: I've set up a message filter that is supposed to search in the body that contains a word. I know the word is in the body, but yet the filter is not being triggered.

I have tried a different word that has spaces before and after and it seems to work, so I guess that's the problem, but how can I allow thunderbird to work when there's different characters before or after the word also?

I used to be able to have a few months of incoming emails in Thunderbird. As updates came in, my settings got all messed up and I am lucky to have a few emails in my inbox. No good to search because there are not many there. My internet provider has very little support for Thunderbird, so I cannot reset my preferences to keep my emails in the inbox. Sometimes emails don't send, and the app has become a real hassle. I had used it close to 20 years and have given repeated donations to Mozilla. How can we get our Thunderbird back to being a good email app, like it used to be?

Hi,

I'm not sure the topic I chose is the best, but...

I have many(!) accounts and it's become a bit unwieldy. I would like to know if there is a way to set up my main window so I can see my favorite inboxes at the top of the list, but in a unified view. Then the rest can be "un-unified." The current unified view shows all the inboxes and there are too many to sift through. I would like a few prioritized ones to be grouped together. The rest can be grouped (unified) separately.

Thanks,

L

I am pretty sure that at one time mouse-over on the From field would show the sender's address. I am running 102.9.0 (32-bit) and it is not doing that, so I would like to know how to turn it on ? Given it works in Gmail, Yahoo and AOL, this is a pretty common feature.

And I see this as kind of a Security issue as it means I have to open the message to see if the email address is bogus or not. For example, I just got an email from "ADT Security Services <laughing@n4.funnyeditor.com>" , which shows up in From as "ADT Security Services", and accidentally clicked on Unsubscribe. It obviously did not go to ADT.

Thanks Jack

Thunderbird used to have a great edit address GUI. Simple - all on one screen. Now it is on the bottom, one block at a time and all the data is far apart vertically. And above that is a dark screen of other addresses I don't about. YOU screwed up a perfectly clean product to make it the end all data base. I used to recommend it to others. No more. Carl Keil
