138085 - Virtual Mail Folders.. OR Memorized Search for Labels/Marked please

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 115614

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Tilo Sloboda]

The new feature to label email as Urgent, etc.. is VERY useful! 

But how can one easily find *ALL* emails which are labeled as Urgent,
within all mail subdirectories...? 


It's important to have a way to easily see or at least search for 
those labeled emails to see what's still to be done.. 


I think it would be nice to have something like "virtual" mailfolders,
which can be assoziated with a search, so that they always display all 
messages which match --- no matter in which mail sub-folder they really are.. 


Hmm... what i want is a way to find *ALL* my emails which are labeled as
"Urgent" (or otherwise match some criteria)   with one click, by going 
to such a virtual mail folder.. or let's call that just a "memorized custom
search", that sounds less complicated.. 



This would be a really neat feature for enterprise/commercial/power users. 

If this could be really implemented as "virtual folders", in the GUI, the
contents should be updated automatically, whenever email arrives -- similar
to how mailfilters are executed for each email..


I think something like this could be really useful, because it would act
as a "to do" list of email which still need to be taken care of...

I think this is a duplicate... I believe we have a bug about being able to
search for label and also a bug requesting virtual folders.  Will find bug
numbers...
