What doesn't work for me is selecting specific folders, because it then doesn't search the subfolders.it's not supposed to.Ah. I must be unusual in building a folder structure like this then: inbox unix mailing-list mailing-list mail mailing-list mailing-list hardware mailing-list mailing-list network mailing-list mailing-list work client project project client-sent-mail employer client project project client project employer-sent-mail If I know that the information I'm looking for was related to employer, but don't know which project it was, it would be better to search employer and subfolders rather than all local folders.
I didn't say you *couldn't* search all subfolders, just that selecting a folder to search should not magically include subfolders.
You are able to just select the specific folders you wish to search under. Eg. you can select "employer" and "client" and "project" folders individually and add them to the list of folders to search.
