Details

Thunderbird 2, Ubuntu Feisty: 1. Create a tag, and mark a bunch of messages using it 2. Create a "saved search" folder, that will find all messages with that tag. 3. Remove the tag What happens: The saved search doesn't work. When I click it, nothing happens. What should happen: Maybe a warning when removing the tag that some searches depend on it? Or at least some kind of warning when I try to use it, telling me that it needs to be reset.
like what is done when a filter is affected by deleting a folder?

(In reply to comment #1) > like what is done when a filter is affected by deleting a folder? Yes, that would be ideal.
Here are the steps for creating a saved search: https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Basics/Using-Saved-Searches/ta-p/16407 For me, after deleting the tag the folder still showed the messages that were tagged previously (only not colored). Maybe "enhancement" describes this better. Thunderbird 45.8.0 Windows 7 64-bit
