Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 192582

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Mark Derricutt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041115 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041115 Firefox/1.0

When opening the Search Messages dialog from the main screen ( right-click on a
folder/account ) the rules settings don't offer "Label" as an option.

However, when selecting "Todo" items from the combo quick-search toolbar, and
then selecting "save search as folder", the search dialog that comes up does
list "Label" as searchable item.

For consistency, "Label" should be available at all times.

Label *is* offered as search option for POP mail, but not for IMAP.
