So do I understand that this feature is not supported yet and there's no such search possibility? In this case, maybe I shall put a bug report and ask for this feature? Regarding your workaround, my work includes dealing with few hundred people on a very large geopgraphic region with too many separate topics (I'm working as a proposals director). making a specific saved search does not seem possible due to the different search patterns I use daily. I would end up with at least tens of them but still can't address all as new ones will be added as we have new proposals to make :) The addon in Thunderbird is working very nice and quick for this function. -- Emre _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
