Most of us save our email so we can refer to it at a later date. How long you save messages varies (I have some messages that are about 5 years old), but it is common enough to find several hundred emails in a folder.

Then one day someone refers to an old email, or you remember something in a message and want the details. Opening and reading hundreds of emails is not practical, but using the power of Thunderbird enables you to do these tasks easily.

In this chapter you cover message management. We'll discuss how you store, filter, sort, and perform other tasks involving your email messages.
