I have been looking for an email client on Linux after being tired of Gmail and Outlook web clients.

I had Thunderbird installed on my system and thought I’d give it a spin. I set up POP for my email accounts and it worked fantastic… For a total of 2 hours, after which I realised that searching in Thunderbird is simply not going to work for me. I need to search by attachment name and sometimes even by text inside attachment and unfortunately Thunderbird can’t do that (I think I tried an extension too but it made the UI super clunky to the point that I couldn’t even understand how to navigate it anymore).

Does Betterbird or any other email client fix this problem? I’m willing to try other options if they are FOSS.

Thanks

    I’ve always liked Thunderbird. Geary is also nice. Not sure if it can attachment search.

    You can filter messages with attachment on Thunderbird btw

      Yes but I can’t search by the name of the attachment. Unfortunately that’s a deal breaker for me. I need it to search the Content-Type field at the very least and I don’t think it can do that without an extension
