Hello, I don't know where the mistake is, but it has already happened to me twice that I put "tags" on my emails throughout the year and it just deleted them. After turning it on, I no longer had those "tags" for emails. I put tags for orders with a large number so that I can sort them right away, and when I delete them, it's a lot of work to sort those orders. Can you tell me where the error is?

Previously while looking for a specific email by text in the subject line, the results would display the emails in the same frame where all emails were. No need to open another window or tab.

I do this to find attachments. I would find the email, be able to open it and then print the attached PDF document. I can no longer dot this.

It started when looking for an email that had become part of a "Thread". I really do NO like threads. I changed a setting to NOT use threads but must have changed something else. I could not find it

I found my problem. I did NOT have "subject" checked in the search criteria.

By the way, I still do NOT like "threads".

Use case:

10 email address UNIFIED inbox 20 emails: 4 read and/or favorite and/or tagged and/or with attachment 16 NOT (the opposite)

Need to select all one which are not favorites - > they have to be archived

With Quick select there is a way to select all that has 1 or more attribute

BUT there is no way to select those which have NOT 1 or more attribute (the inverse)

The mails list can't be sorted to attribute values, attribute NEGATIVE values

Is there a way to do it?

If not: It might be quite insane logically not let the user to filter mails WITHOUT a certain attribute. There should be a button with the possibility to invert the list. Or something like that. Shift-click on quick selection buttons which negate a filter. ??? Filtering/searching means: not relevant, "relevant: Yes", "relevant: No". Today "relevant: No" is not implemented Email workflows (archiving, ...........) use NOT favorite, NOT tagged etc selections: I want to archive everything except those which are favorites, which are tagged etc.

What's the meaning of crossed repeat icon for event in Thunderbird Calendar? What it depends on? Have discovered it's a status icon which appears when you set repetition for your event. In my particular case it's crossed for event which is an invitation for me to join ms teams meeting.

I do not like your search, Don't get it............ I may be stupid but I can't find an email by let say a person or a company. I may get a hit but it's blank or it's not all of them? Please tell me I am doing something wrong?
