Of course not. I only didn't see my reply as interesting to the broader audience. > On Sat, 2006-02-18 at 00:05 +0100, Michal Mertl wrote: > [...] > > > I'm pretty sure this one is filed in bugzilla, Unfortunately, this > > > feature is not implemented yet. > > > > > > As a workaround, you could either set up some (kind of static) Search > > > Folders (formerly known as vFolders) for particular folders, or use a > > > global one including all mail... > > > > I've got some 1.5G worth of emails (dating back to 1999 or so) so > > searching all of them all the time would probably be pretty time > > consuming. > > Understood. > > Unfortunately, a large mail base is a common issue for most users who > structure their mail in a lot of sub-folders and really would benefit > from a feature to include entire sub-trees in a search. > > > If any Evo developer reads this, please consider raising the priority of > these features: > > * An option to include all sub-folders in a search.

Another useful feature in this regard would be to be able to select multiple folders (everywhere where it makes sense) and in main Evo window add to context menu (on right click on selected folders) the search function. I would offer to help as I am quite experienced programmer myself but I am afraid that to understand a little such a large source tree would take long time and I am not experienced in large projects and C++ anyway :-(. The UI would bettter be that in the list of folders to search the list could display tree of folders and on the side of each item there would be a checkbox to choose recursive searching. This way you would have more control over what is searched and how than a global setting. > As it is getting pretty late again and I am too lazy to hunt down the > originally filed bug, I just filed them. ;) The second one should be > unique anyway.
