Here is an image explaining the issue I've been suffering from the last two days. Before everything was fine :-(

Any search gives me "strange" results. The worst is when there are at least 25 emails in the folders and no one is found, and the list is empty... ... or if it finds some while the others are lost in the void and you're not aware of that??

Already, I've Rebuilt the index twice... no satisfaction.

I need that feature to work perfectly, otherwise I'm lost !!!!!

( Local folder is populated by at least 25 root folders + a lot of subfolders with many sub-sub-folders )

PS: 2° pic "Agrip" should give a result > I was searching "agrip"'s mails not yet moved in that Sub-Sub-folder

Steps to reproduce:

1. Using Betterbird/Thunderbird 128.9.2esr-bb25 (64-bit), navigate to "Address Book"

2. Using "Address Book" "List display options". Type in any phone number

3. No result are display. This is the challenge. The needed end result is to search all Phone Number field for all contacts. Including any additional "Phone Number" field per contact if any. For example, but not limited to, "Phone Number 1", "Phone Number 2", "Fax Number", etc.

Using this on device 1:

• Betterbird/Thunderbird 128.9.2esr-bb25 (64-bit) from Arch Linux repository

• Arch Linux latest version

• KDE Plasma latest version

Using this on device 2:

• Betterbird/Thunderbird 128.9.2esr-bb25 (64-bit) from https://flathub.org/apps/eu.betterbird.Betterbird

• Debian Bookworm 12

• GNOME 43.9

What I tried that did not work:

• Add-on "Contact Tabs" does not support Betterbird/Thunderbird 128 at https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/contact-tabs/

I FOUND no close TOPIC.

Google calendar allows color-coding of events - but the display is highly inadequate. T-bird 128 calendar apparently HAS no option to color events. But events are FAR easier to see WHEN color-highlighted. Would this be a difficult option??

Hello!

For a while now I've had an issue browsing with Google using Firefox. As stated in the subject line, Google would cut off parts of my search if certain symbols are used within it.

For example: "1+1" becomes "1 1" "R&B" becomes "R" "#100" sends me back to google main page "number #100" becomes "number"

There might be other symbols that cause issues, but these are the three I keep running into. I tested another browser and this issue doesn't happen in it, meaning it must be an issue with Firefox.

I have already tried clearing cookies and cache, and it did not resolve the problem.

I would appreciate help with this!

Hello, I’m using the latest version of Thunderbird. The Ctrl-Shift-F search does not offers me the option of searching in the message Body when searching the Deleted folder, although it is fine when searching in the Inbox. I have tried restarting Thunderbird to no effect. What is going on? Alan.

Please offer a REAL search engine!!!

Not this garbage paid content at the top of every search: Wokepedia, Snopes, msm fake new, etc.. People are figuring out how this content makes it to the top of EVERY search, and we're not BUYING IT!!! People are leave Google /YourCensored Tube owing to their censorship and pushing billionaire globalist narratives.

Companies like Rumble & X are the future! MAKE an open source, truly privacy minded search engine or PREPARE TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS. Because people are asking for it everywhere, notably on X!!!

No more FAKE msm news stories. All the search engines offered on FireFox Suck! DuckDuck GO used to be good, but now it's like all the rest.

Yandex looks to be one of the better options right now, but people are asking Elon Musk to do a real search engine.

Hi all,

I know how to search Thunderbird emails using the "right-click on a folder" method to "Search messages" to list only those emails which have attachments.

What I would like to do is narrow that down further so that the results only show attachments of a certain type of attachment e.g. just PDFs, or just PNGs.

Is there a way to do that ?

I don't care about matching the filename of the PDF or PNG just that it *IS* a PDF or PNG filetype.

Thanks.

In classic search, "To, from, cc, bcc" and "reply-to" are two separate searches. Is there a way to combine these in a single item in the drop-down list? The reason is I need to do

("To, from, cc, bcc" = <something> OR "reply-to" = <something> ) AND ("age in days" < 30)

so

("To, from, cc, bcc, reply-to" = <something> ) AND ("age in days" < 30)

does the job. I'd greatly prefer this to be classic search, but all suggestions welcome.

Many thanks

Hi,

I'm using thunderbird for over twenty years, and for ages I have been using a customizable list view where I could limit the list view of messages in a mail folder based on rules, eg. message tag, age in days, sender, has attachment, things like that, and had a lot of rules to limit the view of messages.

Now I am on a trip, away from home, with a freshly installed Ubuntu 25.04 and latest thunderbird, 128.10.0esr-1, and I can't find how to enable the selection menu to limit the view to tags or customized rules.

The quick filter bar seems to be somewhat redesigned, and it seems to have lost the option to add this menu to the quick filter bar.

Where have these customizable views gone to? I can't find them anymore, although I am sure I do have these working on my machines at home.

(And no, don't propose to use saved searches, they are not a substitute for that.)

Do these plugins exist? If not, please make them, I need them!

1) The plugin lets you make filters for all mailboxes and folders, or for any selection of them, rather than for just a single folder/mailbox. Some things I filter for may arrive in any of several mailboxes, depending on the address I used, and it's a drag to create the same filter for each of them.

2) The plugin lets you search in specific mailboxes or folders, or for any selection of them, without having to wade through masses of irrelevant results from other folders.

3) The plugin shows you, in search results, what folder each email is in. Currently, when I do a search, each folder containing any results is on the list showing how many results it contains, and if I click on it I can see those results, but that's not the same - and it goes away when the results are shown as a list.

Thank you.

Hello. From time to time, a problem with tabs and the settings button in the Mozilla browser occurs. The tab close buttons and the settings button stop responding, are not pressed, tabs have to be closed manually using the right mouse button. Everything starts working after restarting the browser, but again after some time everything stops working again. This happened on version 138 and I observe it on 139. Installed Operating System: Garuda Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.9-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland

Proszę specjalistów o pomoc co mogę zrobić, aby Thunderbird szukał również w treści załączników tekstowych np. PDF, jak np. eM Client, który ma tą funkcję, ale jest znacznie mnie elastyczny i gorszy jeśli chodzi o sprawy konfiguracyjne niż Thunderbird, ale szukanie w załącznikach działa idealnie.

Czy są jakieś dodatki w Thunderbird, abym mógł szukać w załącznikach bezpośrednio w programie w jego wyszukiwarce? Nie chodzi o szykanie poza programem.

Zależy mi na wygodzie użytkowania i skoncentrowania pracy w Thunderbird.

Pozdrawiam :)
