Search for archiv-sub-mailboxes/-folder

Open joesch2 opened this issue 8 months ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Search is always specific to the selected mailbox. Sub mailboxes are not searched.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the archive folder, I create a subfolder for each archive year. For my use cases, it would be helpful if I could integrate sub-mailboxes into a search query (search with/without sub-mailboxes). This could also be helpful for users who structure their inboxes with subfolders.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Search is always specific to the selected mailbox with subfolder.

Are there other email clients that do this?

I use Thunderbird. I've successfully tested the search in subfolders. I can also limit the search to the current folder.

Is it a checkbox? Mind sharing a screenshot?

I'm guessing this makes sense, as an advanced search option.
