273821 - Need to be able to search for flagged messages in IMAP folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 201433

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Daniel Pryden]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In Thunderbird (up to and including 1.0 - 20041206) the Search Messages dialog
does not contain an option to search for messages that have the "flagged" status
set (with the flag icon in the message list).

This is particularly an issue when dealing with IMAP folders, since I use the
flag to mark various important messages.  There is a "Get Flagged Messages"
entry under File->Offline, but this doesn't do anything for me when I'm viewing
an IMAP folder (except that the status bar displays how many flagged messages
there are as it (re-)downloads them).

Additionally, it would be nice if this could also be used for Saved Search
Folders as well (kinda goes without saying, but I figured I'd say it anyway).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Search Messages dialog from Edit->Find->Search Messages.
2. There is no way to search for messages that have Flag status set.
Actual Results:  
There is no way to search for messages that have Flag status set.

Expected Results:  
There should be a new search option (perhaps under "Status"?  currently all
that's there is "Replied", "Read", "New", and "Forwarded") for the Flag status.

This is a stock Thunderbird 1.0 (20041206) on Windows 2000.  I just downloaded
it yesterday.  There are no extensions or themes (other than the default theme)
installed.

Not specific to IMAP, and not only for Search -- can't use Flag as a filter or 
mailview criterion either.
