I installed a month ago Fedora 7 on my new Compaq Notebook, and when

it's still part of thunderbird).
Do I have to install it as an extension, because I search for it on
thenderbirds addons with no luck.
I still click on Tools and then filters. Do you have the Tools in
your top margin?
I'm pretty sure you can also (not at the computer at the moment)
right-click on the email address and choose something like 'create
filter from address.'
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.

Martin,
I did a little more looking. My F7 access is a bit limited, but take a
look in your .thunderbird/random-directory-name directory for a file
called localstore.rdf. In that file there is XML similar to this:
<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul#mail-bar2"
mode="full"
currentset="button-getmsg,button-newmsg,button-address,separator,button-reply,button-replyall,button-forward,separator,button-tag,button-delete,button-junk,button-print,separator,button-goback,button-goforward,spring,search-container" />
Note the last item on the currentset line.
With thunderbird stopped try adding ",search-container" (without the
additional quotes) to the equivalent line your localstore.rdf and
restart thunderbird.
Did you convert from 1.5 to 2.0? Either way it sounds like it might be
time for a bug report.
Bob...
