I know that somewhere in my mailbox there is an email with an attachment of which I remember (part of) the name. Is it possible to locate this email automatically?

You can do this with the add-on:
Expression Search / GMailUI

Search with the format:
file:partoffilenamehere

Since there is an add-on for this, I guess there's no native way :( This works perfectly! – Jasper – 2016-08-30T11:31:12.113
This doesn't work for me. It returns three emails, none of which have any attachments – endolith – 2019-10-31T15:22:25.360
Ok so 1. This extension only adds to the Quick Search, not the main search. 2. "Note 2: If you want search all folders using expression, you can create a virtual folder manually (Ctrl+Shift+F) with 'Match all messages', then using expression search in the virtual folder." 3. Different versions are compatible with different versions of Thunderbird https://github.com/wangvisual/expression-search/tree/master/beta https://github.com/wangvisual/expression-search/tree/master/releases
