Yes, search the forums for 'thunderbird' for details.

Set Thunderbird to use the MailDir format to get all mails as single .eml files.
This can be perfectly content indexed and searched for.
As NotNull already said, the forum contains a lot of entries about the topic.

Thanks so much. I had last checked into this probably about 5 years ago, and was a little disappointed in the results. My apologies for missing updates in the forum. And, I appreciate the responses! 👍
