159528 - when adding label to the headers to search it's impossible to 'remove' afterwards

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 138828

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Nils Lohner]

I have many different folders in my mail and a habit of flagging mails ToDo if I
need to respond to them later.  The problem is that they are in different
folders and these are sorted by date, so it's a big pain to go to each one in
turn and sort by label to find them.

Going to the advanced search dialog has several problems.
- there is no 'Label' in the fields to search (but priority and status do exist)
- searching all with subfolders for 'read' status works to get every mail in the
mailbox listed, but then clicking on label or priority does not sort them properly
- when adding label to the headers to search (I know it's not a header, but it
was worth a try) it's impossible to 'remove' afterwards (this is probably a
separate bug- please file if it isn't already reported)

Apologies, should be in 'Search' not address book.

  properly -> bug 106343

    * worksforme win98 m1.1b: click on constraint field (subject/sender/...)
      selector, select 'customize...', select newly added header, click
      'remove'.

One bug per report please.  Reporter, what version of Mozilla are you using (&

Strange.  Now it works (the label sorting, but not the priority), after a
reboot.  I had changed the theme from classic to modern, used mozilla for most
of the day, installed openoffice and winace (which asked for a reboot which I
didn't do) and saw some other weirdness as well (some mails refusing to move
between folders and some even not displaying).

Sorry.  Version is the released Mozilla 1.0 (2002053012).  I'll switch to 1.1
once it's released.  Sorry about the multiple bugs... I thought that since they
were all in the same area of the same tool it'd be OK.  I'll use the helper next
time.

can't remove last custom header -> bug 138828, fixed on trunk 2002-04-22 but
still in 1.0 branch. All 3 issues are dups, marking this dup of last
