291774 - Allow searches to be based on saved searches

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Mikael Nilsson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050406 Firefox/1.0.2 (Debian package 1.0.2-3)

I would like to be able to search my saved searches, and then save this search
in turn.

I'm aware that seaching a vFolder allows me to save the search (for example
through the last item in the quick search dropdown).

But this method just copies the search critera from that other vFolder, so that
changing criteria on the original vFolder does not update the dependent vFolders.

In short - instead of building the search criteria once when entering the saved
search, I want them to update dynamically (in the case that a vFolder is used as
source).

Reproducible: Always

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
