Question/Feature Request: Filter by Relative Dates #75

Closed infinitelyintrigued closed 2 years ago

infinitelyintrigued commented 2 years ago

Hi, is there a way to filter by relative dates (today, yesterday, 3 weeks ago, etc.)? For example, I want to see messages that I received today. I created and use a search folder using the Outlook desktop app, but have not found a way to do this using Thunderbird/quickFilters. Thank you.

Sure - when setting up a filter, you can add the standard search method "Age in days" :

If you want to generate many new filters with a certain age pre-populated you can create a filter template using advanced settings / custom templates:

Thank you for these tips! It appears Thunderbird goes by hours instead of days. Less than 1 day finds messages received within the last 24 hours -- unlike Outlook does. But this will do for now. I really like your quickFilters, by the way!
