Re: [Evolution] How could I create this type of search folder?

[ZC Miao <hellwolf misty gmail com>]

No, it's not enough.

For example, I saw one mail a1, and I labelled a1 "Focused". Later
somebody followed that thread, sent a2. Now if I create a search folder
where "Label is Focused" and includes all related  threads, that works
pretty fine. But contrarily, if I create a search folder where "Label is
not Focused" and includes all related threads, then because of a2 is not
labelled "Focused", and a1 is related to a1, then a1 will be in this
search folder, that's the dilemma I'm sticking at now.
