When I want to expand an existing search Folder to search in other folders to,
it allows me to  selection multiple folder, but only searches in the original one.

(Work arround: I could search the whole account, but that includes JUNK and
TRASH CAN :-(

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a search folder e.g. for your Inbox search unread messages
2. got the properties of that folder
3. click select
4. select at least one (maybe two) other folders from the list 
5. check wether the other folders a progressed, too

Actual Results:  
I get only the results from the original folder

Expected Results:  
I hoped to get all unread messegas from all selected folders

It seems that it remembers only the last location selected, from the "properties
dialog\select the folders to search". It remembers multiple folders only if
appartaining to the SAME ACCOUNT. I tried selecting multiple folders (from
different accounts) using the ctrl key or the shift key but still it does not work.
