People, this is not what I want.
In tb 1.5 (which is the version I'm using now at work) I have a search
box which once applied the filter it only shows those messages (like a
search filter), but when I'm done, I cancel it and go back to the
normal mailbox view.
Another nice thing it has is that is right above the mailbox list, so
I don't have to go to Tools -> Message Filters.
Is it available?
Martin,
I see the "search" box on both 1.5 (FC6) and 2.0 (F7). In 1.5 there is
an option under view to turn it off, but I do not see that option in
2.0. I also looked in the advanced config in 2.0 and did not see
anything obvious.
As a last resort, you could try moving your profile and letting
thunderbird create a new one.
