I've searched bugzilla and the mailing lists for this, but I turned up nothing as of yet... Now (with 2.0) that the tree view only has folders containing mail messages, it would be very nice if there were a way to multiply select folders and (presumably) create an (anonymous) vFolder that merges the messages in all the selected folders. There could even be a way to turn that anonymous vFolder into a named vFolder for later. From rom a user-oriented perspective, this seems like the "right" thing to do when a user ctrl-clicks or shift-clicks in that view. From rom an implementation side, it appears (to, a programmer that isn't familiar with the Evo internals) that most of the infrastructure is there to build this. The particular reason I want this is pretty simple: I have a lot of folders. I frequently use the search bar to find old messages that could be in any number of folders. If I want to run such a search, I have to run my search on one folder, save that search to a vFolder, and add all the additional folders individually to that vFolder query (or I just add "all local and remote folders"). After I find the message I'm looking for, I delete that vFolder. It would be so much more straightforward to simply select the folders I want to look in the folder view and run the search off of the search bar (possibly adding more folders later to search in more folders). I think this would be a killer feature for Evo, and I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already asked for it in bugzilla or on the mailing list, but I haven't been able to find the bugid or the mailing list thread. thanks, mike -- Michael R Head <burner suppressingfire org> GPG: http://www.suppressingfire.org/~burner/gpg.key.txt (ID 23A02B1F)
