Hi there community,

Since thunderbird update to version 102, I dont find my (very useful) "Open message in conversation" anymore (right click on message, or Ctrl + Shift + O).

This function is a 10-times-a-day help for me, checking which conversations have been answered by whom, including me, showing emails in any box or folder (which doesn't work in "showing conversation" in a box or folder).

Has this function disappeared, or is it something to tick somewhere to bring it back?

Thanks in advance for the support,

The option is available only if Global Search and Indexer is enabled, under Settings/General/Network & Disk Space. If it's already enabled but not working, try rebuilding the search database:

The desired fonctionality is back in my right-click menu.

It was just a glitch maybe, in thunderbird, or in my brains. This question can be closed, even deleted I guess.

Much thanks @sfhowes for proposing a reply.
