Hi
I think better would be to make it apply to all folders, it would
make
searching quicker, just then a case on moving down the folder tree.
Oh I would hate that and I really don't think it would make searching
any quicker and would slow everything down. I have some massive
folders that are not usually searched for anything so aren't cached -
it would frustrate me no end if I happen to have searched for
something
and change folders, for it to then to start downloading everything.
My folders are also very specific in what they hold - a search in one
folder would just not be applicable to another. And I also quite like
the fact that a search in a folder is sticky - I can look for
something when replying to another email and know the same search
results will be there even if I look for something different in
another
folder.
Your use case of not knowing where an email might be is exactly why
there is the "Current Account" option in the search.
P.
I'll give an example
As you can see from my sig block I'm a Radio Ham,
I filter personal Ham mail in to one folder, I also subscribe to several mailing lists
which are primarily for Hams. It often occurs that someone who is on my Ham personal list answers or posts
in one of the mailing lists, so depending on the order of the filters it will often go in the wrong folder,
if a multiple posting is made , ie. the use of CC.
I could expand the filters, which would really increase filtering time, I would prefer not to do that.
