Try this: - set to table view - click top row in message list pane and click the icon to add 'size' to the list - click the size icon to sort messages by size

That may not be perfect, but should help.

OK, So I already have a Table view. Your suggestion is applicable to only ONE folder. I wish to search ALL of my Thunderbird email folders for large attachments. Do you know how to do that?
