Search in Thunderbird is ok, you're doing it wrong.
- johnchristopher 3y agoIndeed, on a fresh installation search works really well. It's after I add accounts and start downloading emails that it begins to suck.
- 10729287 3y agoIndeed, search in thunderbird is ok, but search in gmail is awesome. I started archiving my emails in folders and subfolders again once I stopped using gmail interface.
- 2pie 3y agoI've been using thunderbird for years and I still find search to be bad. I've never really made experiments to see why it's bad, but often I type the name of a correspondant to find a particular message, but I don't find it. I guess I am used to the fuzzy search magic that happens in other software.
- lifestyleguru 3y agoCtrl+Shift+F and "search all of the following" with multiple filter lines returns me what I need most of the times. It required switching my workflow though, yeah, the Google's fuzzy email search is really good.
