open message in conversation not working
When I right click a message and click open message in conversation nothing happens? Also doesn't work if press command+shift+o. Even when I open message click more and then click open message in conversation - still nothing happens.
Some messages that I right click on that are in a conversation/thread do not even show the open message in conversation option?
I used to be able to open my messages in conversation and I have not changed any settings.
Any suggestions?

Try rebuilding the global search database and see if it makes any difference:

Hello Charemma,
Would you try Safe Mode to see if maybe an ad-on (if you have any) is causing this ?
This is still not working..
Do not have any add-ons either.
Still coming up with the option of 'open message in conversation' but when click on this nothing happens?
I'm going to flag this and ask a moderator to move this to Thunderbird support .....

As you don't have any add-ons - when you're in Safe Mode, would you please check the box "Reset toolbars and controls" and click "Make changes and restart".
Any luck ?
Unfortunately this still does not work...
I have been tried both above suggestions a few times now and still nothing :(
I have even tried removing my account then adding it back and waiting for my emails to sync up again. However, this has also not helped and still can't open messages in conversations...
I have just forwarded this thread to someone who might be able to help - but I don't know when he'll be around though .....
Thank you for passing this on - hopefully this can be resolved!

While you're waiting for that contributor whom I contacted - maybe someone else will see this thread and come up with the perfect solution - who knows (fingers crossed !).
The person I contacted to take a look at your problem : I just noticed that he hasn't "been around" the past eleven days - he may be on vacation ......
I sure hope that someone else will see this and come to your
rescue !

After rebuilding global database the open message in conversation is working again!
So pleased! :)
Thank you both for your help!
I'm so pleased that your problem is solved - was about time, eh ?
