Right Click Contextual Menu to View All Emails To/From Person
Yesterday, I was delighted to see in Thunderbird (version 78.2.1 64-bit Windows) had a right-click menu to view all emails to/from the email sender, but today I can't find the option any longer.
I suspect: 1) there is a setting that enables/disables it, or 2) there is an add-on that brought this (that perhaps I've since disabled and can't recall, since I tried several for other matters), or 3) the contextual menu appears in a different place that I'm looking now (in the email, right-clicking their name)
This is a super valuable feature that I'd love to restore the functionality on.
Thank you!

You could enter the contact's name in the Quick Filter Bar (Ctrl+Shift+K), then click the Sender or Recipients button. Or, enter the name in the Global Search (Ctrl+K) and select 'Messages mentioning <name>' in the drop-down to see all messages to or from the contact. Or, select View/Sort by/From & Ascending or Descending & Grouped by Sort. A Saved Search from File/New is another option.

Thanks a bunch for the reply and alternative option. I am familiar with these options (Thunderbird's search is great
The only context-menu item that would be related is 'Create filter from...' if you wanted perform an action such as Star or Tag messages from a particular sender. If there's another option due to an add-on, I'm not aware of one. If you have an add-on that did this but stopped working, it would still be shown under Tools/Add-ons/Extensions but possibly disabled.
