| 1124627 | 2010-08-04 11:23:00 | In Outlook, I have available a virtual folder called "unread messages", that gathers together all the unread messages in one place, irrespective of their actual folder location. I have been trying to do this in Thunderbird, without success. I know you can list all the folders with unread messages under favorites, but that is not quite the same thing. Am I missing something obvious, or is this not do-able in Thunderbird? TIA |

| 1124629 | 2010-08-04 23:09:00 | Thanks for that. I posted the question to help a friend of mine, and I don't use T-bird. What is the process in Thunderbird to create a search folder? | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1124630 | 2010-08-05 00:27:00 | Rt-clk on a folder -> search For search terms use "Status" "isn't" "Read" click save as search folder Choose where to save & what folders to look in. |

| 1124632 | 2010-08-05 04:44:00 | That seems to have done the trick - she can now look at her > 200 (!!) unread emails all in one place. Thanks again for the help. |
