when searching in one or more folders the result is found in a search result folder - isn´t that exactly the same function ?

Could you integrate a search tool that allows to search just within a folder and displays only the messages that match the query within the folder?

there is the option "search the current folder only" - isn't exactely, what you want ?

You should have a look at it. I find it very handy.

You might as well describe it.  I'm not going to install Thunderbird just to find out what you like about it's search function.

I hadn't looked at it before. I just did. It looks not be as powerful as Pegasus's -- no sign that it can search by regular expression, for example.

I take it that when the OP said "displays only the messages that match the query within the folder"  he meant that literally -- not "searches" but "displays". It's like a filtered view on the folder. You can activate a function to save the search in a folder. I don't know whether that's a "smart mailbox" like the Mac's Mail.app has, but there's nothing to say so, so perhaps not. However that may be, saving the search as a folder is an option not the default.

I suspect what the OP is asking for is what one might call filtered views onto a selected folder -- filtered through a search-term that is.

Exactly. Well put. Thank you. :-)
