How can I search for all the emails from a single sender
Is th is not a an existing feature? All I know to do now is put emails in alphabetical order and look for the name. Surely I am just not finding a way to do it

Thunderbird has at least three search tools built in.
- At the top is the Global Search, which looks everywhere with a very loose match and will probably get you an overwhelming list of possible near misses. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-search
- Ctrl+shift+f will give you a more precise search where you can set specific search parameters, but this search is restricted to the current folder.
- The QuickFilter bar, just below the Global Search box lets you filter the current folder. If you type in some text, a set of buttons appear, allowing you to give the context, "from" being one of these.
A Saved Search, which is admittedly more work to set up, will let you search anywhere but using the precise search definition used in (2). https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-saved-searches
I use an addon, Expression Search/GmailUI to enhance the QuickFilter bar with more precise search capabilities. It also allows you to expand a simple search of the current folder to the Global Search tool.
