To create a filter, open Thunderbird and click on the "Tools" menu. Then, select "Message Filters..." from the drop-down menu.

In the "Message Filters" dialog box, click on the "New" button.

Once you have selected the criteria, click on the "OK" button.

The filter will now be applied to all incoming messages. Any messages that meet the criteria will be automatically sorted into the specified folder or marked as read.

How to Track Email Opens

Thunderbird can be used to track when recipients open your emails. This information can be helpful for tracking the success of your email campaigns and for understanding how your recipients interact with your messages.

The "Tracking for Thunderbird" add-on will now track when recipients open your emails. You can view the tracking information by clicking on the "Tracking" tab in the Thunderbird message window.

How to Receive Notifications for New Messages

Thunderbird can be configured to send you notifications for new messages. This can be helpful for staying on top of your email activity and for making sure that you don't miss any important messages.

To receive notifications for new messages, open Thunderbird and click on the "Tools" menu. Then, select "Options..." from the drop-down menu.

In the "Options" dialog box, select the "Notifications" tab.

In the "Notifications" tab, select the "Show a notification when a new message arrives" checkbox. Then, click on the "OK" button.
