Prior to version the last major update (115 I think), when searching my email for a keyword, the results would show the folder location of any emails found. The new version of Thunderbird does not show the folder location of searched emails anymore. Is there a way to enable that again?

I see them now. It was showing the search results in cards view, changed to table view and now the folder locations show. Weird.

I just did a search in Thunderbird and it showed the folder location after I clicked the show list option. I think that is how it has always worked.

I think the whole cards view is weird. Users wanted a line or so preview of the emails content. What we got was a whole re-imagining of the way mail is displayed.
