Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 272709

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)

You can set the flag by clicking the dot in the flag column or right clicking on
the message line->mark->flag, but there is no way to search for flagged messages
that I can see.  Evolution does this by searching on "Status is Important". 
Important isn't an option in tbirds status search.

Reproducible: Always

This would be very nice addition to search, especially in combination with
'Search folder' functionality - search folder would hold all messages marked
with flag from all subfolders for example.

Good idea also is to be able to create search folder for messages marked as unread.

You can do this already, File->New->Saved Search, Status-is-New.
