I have recently started using Thunderbird to handle my new email account. Prior to this, I was using gmail as my primary email address. I grew accustomed to my ability to organize my mail using filters and labels.

In gmail, if you add +label to the end of your address, you can easily set up a filter to send all mail with that extension to a specific folder.
ie: username+label@gmail.com

Is there a similar approach in Thunderbird. I tried the method above in Thunderbird, but never received an email. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Have you looked through the extensions available for Thunderbird?

Part of the power of Thunderbird is the ability to customize it with extensions.

Another option would be to set up message filters.
Click on Tools / Message Filters and set up filters for messages. You can also create a filter from a message.

One thing I like about importing my Gmail messages into Thunderbird is that I can organize them in multiple local folders.

All of my email accounts into one box. It took a bit of getting used to, at first I didn't like it. But I sure am liking it now!
