I use the tagging feature a lot. I have created two additional colors and changed the names of the original template to custom. I can go through and tag stuff with the color associated. While tagging, I can see the other previous messages I tagged in whatever color drop off (Real time) - Seems to happen with cyan and yellow most (Which happen to be the custom colors I chose) Not sure if this is a bug, or if the team is aware, just throwing it out there. I updated tonight to the most recent version, and re-tested, problem still there.

Anyone in community know of a work-around until resolved, I would be eternally grateful Or an extension that might do a better job than the native program

Thanks in advance!

Running 32bit Thunderbird on Windows Pro x64, build 2004

I'm not running the extension "ReminderFox" as some suggested to disable in a previous issue I read

Tagging it while in preview mode, instead of inbox view doesn't work either

There is another topic that deals with a slightly different issue, tags disappearing upon the message being moved, but I also can't reproduce your results. Tags do not disappear, even custom ones with a cyan color.

Does the same thing happen in safe mode (hold Shift when you launch TB)? Safe mode applies the default theme, bypasses custom css, and uses the default layout, among other actions. Also, tags could be dropped if the folder was re-synced with an IMAP server that doesn't support 'keywords'.

Not sure what you mean by 'preview mode' or 'inbox view'.
