Re: Fantastic
Using Thunderbird 78, I've just done this for a while.
In the search bar (^K), type in the email address of the person I'm looking for, after a few characters, it suggests the person, click on that, it brings up the filter screen of all emails involving that person. No need to create a custom smart filter temporarily if you just want emails involving an individual. Being able to quick filter in my various IMAP folders is nice as well.
