188551 - Implement Save search as mailview from Advanced Search.

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Search, enhancement)

Description

[laurel]

UI spec: http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/views/#Search

Spec calls for (not sure if this is a future/wish list item) a button in
advanced search to save searches as a message view.

This bug is to track that implementation.

mass re-assign.

The Search dialog now has "Save as Search Folder" which saves both the criteria and the folder set.  Saving as a MailView would save only the criteria.
I'm not sure if this is still a useful idea or not.

Working on the assumption that the old specs are virtually abandoned, changing this to an RFE.

Whoops, meant to leave this open.

- Does the notion of MailView still exist? (If not, resolve INVALID or WONTFIX).
- Is this SeaMonkey-only or Thunderbird too? (IOW, shouldn't it be in Core?)
- Anyone still interested in seeing this fixed?
- Anyone willing to try and fix it?

Yes, that's the View dropdown box (TB users need to explicitly drag it into the toolbar).

Both.

Of course.

In that case I suppose it should move to Core. If I supposed wrong (i.e., moved it to a wrong component, or there should be two bugs, this one in SeaMonkey and another one in Thunderbird) then please correct me.
