Search Strangeness
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.

Have you checked the box Run Search on Server?
Thanks for the answer, it fixed my problem. What exactly does Run Search on Server do? Whose server is it?
Ther server is where your e-mail service provider (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Comcast, Spectrum, et al.) provides your e-mail service and stores your messages.
Scooter, Thanks for that. Do you know how long messages are kept on the server? Why do I have to use the server to search message bodies in my Deleted folder but not in my Inbox? Alan.
