If you use the dropdown box to select "Search all folders in the selected mailbox", it does NOT do so! Specifically the "New mail" folder is not searched!
Big bummer. I've been doing bogus searches for years and not realized it.
The only way to actually search ALL of the folders is to start your search while in the "New mail"
folder, then select "Search the current folder and all folders at the
same level", then check the box "Search folders contained in sub-folders
as well".
In other words, for some reason the search function does NOT consider the "New mail" folder to actually be a folder, unless you start the search from within it....
This
applies to version 4.7, build 546, which I believe is the current
version. I do not know if prior version are also affected.
