BTW i'm not saying evo is perfect, but the solution you're looking at doesn't seem very nice either ...

The problems are: 1) Full-text search over the message body is very slow.Do you have indexing enabled? Or is it imap?Tried 'advanced search'?2) I don't like having to choose between body or receipient or sender or anything else. Mairix has one search box, and it searches everything. Searches are also more powerful; for example, I can combine a date-range search with a keyword search ("all messages in March containing fruit").Gmail's search stuff isn't really much different from using vfolders with all mail in one folder.3) Mairix has an option to return all threads that match a search term, not just the individual messages. > It just seems a very round-a-bout way of doing things. Agreed. But after using Gmail for a while, I got used to the search-based interface to email. But I also like Evolution, so I'm trying to make it as much like Gmail as I can. It's not there yet. In Evolution I still spend way too much of my time trying to locate a particular message.> In 1.5 you can view a specific message but thats all. You can't do much > else. Like i siad, none of the api's have been designed for this. This is a start. I see tantalizing hints of it here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dashboard-hackers/2004-May/msg00011.html How do I construct the URI? What's my accountid? How do I find out the uid of a message? If this is documented in the source, where do I start looking? Thanks, --Tessa
