I agree. As a matter of fact I have a virtual folder containing all my
local email and I do searches on it all the time (16K messages and it is
so damn fast guys, very good job). I can find messages this way a lot
faster than figuring out which folder contains what, especially when
emails are between several people... And yes, I have saved searches...

However, this could have been made a lot easier if there was a "sender
or recepient" search item in the pull down search menu. To narrow down
to threads with a friend, I either have to settle with "sender" search
or do an advanced search which is not that convenient.
