Thunderbird has an advanced email search functionality which can be opened with Ctrl + Shift + F. One of the available search conditions is simply 'Attachment'.
Problem is that I get no results, even when I have verified that email and its attachment net1.jpg
exists. Folder is set correctly. Search from subfolders checkbox is also set.
- Search with
Attachment
+includes
+net1.jpg
fails. - Search with
Attachment
+is
+net1.jpg
fails. - Search with
Attachment
+starts with
+net1.jpg
fails. - Search with
Attachment
+ends with
+net1.jpg
fails. - I also tried above with only leading
net1
or endingjpg
part. Those all also failed.
Question: What am I doing wrong? Have I misunderstood how to use this search option? Wiki help page is doesn't give any info on this.
I am using Thunderbird 60.7.2 (32-bit).
Note 1: I am using localized version of Thunderbird, so my translated texts may not be 100% correct.
Note 2: I tried using add-on in this answer, but unfortunately it's not compatible with my TB version.
Unfortunately I cannot seem to be able to reproduce the same effect. Search term I think you are talking about never gives me the text field. But you are right regardless; search function seems work weirdly sometimes. – user694733 – 2019-09-18T07:26:47.550
