Bookmark Emails In Thunderbird
There are a few ways to take care of important emails that are arriving in your email inbox. The best way to deal with them is to react right away if possible.
This sometimes does not work however if research, data or consultation is required before the email can be processed and replied to.
The desktop email client Thunderbird comes with a few options to mark those important emails, one being the option to add tags to emails which will color code them in the email client.
Other email users prefer to move important emails into a special folder so that they can access the emails in that folder at a later time without having to search the email folder structure for them.
Update: Note that eMarks has not been updated since 2010. This means that it is no longer compatible with recent versions of Thunderbird. You can however star emails in Thunderbird now which has a similar effect.
A third option is provided by the Thunderbird add-on eMarks which supposedly stands for email bookmarks.
The add-on adds a new toolbar to the email client. Emails can then be dragged and dropped to that toolbar easily. This makes these emails available from every folder you may be in so that they are universally accessible.
A click on an email listed there loads it right away so that you can read it again or reply. Thunderbird will automatically switch to the folder the email is stored in and display it in the preview pane.
A right-click on any bookmarked email will open a context menu with options to open the email in a new window or tab and to rename or delete it.
Users who prefer no additional toolbar in the email client can disable it and access the bookmarked emails from the file menu at the top.
An emarks entry is added by the extension that can be used to access the bookmarked emails with three clicks of the mouse. Not as comfortable as the toolbar solution but better if space is an issue.
The eMarks extension for the Mozilla Thunderbird email client is available at the Mozilla Thunderbird website. It is compatible with all the latest versions of the desktop email client.

You said that Outlook isn’t your main email client, so which is your main one?
I think its thunderbird
It is Mozilla Thunderbird.
Awesome! This actually solved my problem… what a stupid bug.
If this is the same bug that I’ve encountered, there may be another fix: (1) hover over open Outlook item in Taskbar, cursor up to hover over Outlook window item, and right-click; (2) this should give you Restore / Move / Size / Minimize / Maximize — choose Move or Size; (3) use your cursor keys, going arbitrarily N/S/E/W, to try to move or size the Outlook window back into view. Basically, the app behaves as though it were open in a 0x0 window, or at a location that’s offscreen, and this will frequently work to resize and/or move the window. Don’t forget to close while resized/moved, so that Outlook remembers the size/position for next time.
THANK YOU Claude!!! I could get the main window to launch but could not get any other message window to show on the desktop. You are my hero!!!!
Solved my issue! 6 years later and this is still problem…
Fantastic. Thank you. Size did the trick.
This solved my Outlook problem, too. Thank you. :)

Thanks a lot. I was facing this issue from past 3 week. I tried everything but no resolution. The issue was happening intermittently and mainly when I was changing the display of screen ( as i use 2 monitors). The only option i had was to do system restore. But thanks to you.

This problem was faced by only one user logging to TS 2008 r2 using outlook 2010.The issue was resolved.

Great tip. Thank you!!!! If it helps, I had to use the Control Key and the arrow keys at the same time to bring my window back into view. Worked like a charm.
