I really like that it only works on the current folder. As there really, really needs to be a toolbar button for enabling Seek, I would recommend a toolbar button with a dropdown menu: Current Folder || All Folders. However, Seek cannot replace the Folder Tree, in fact your goal of having Seek work across folders is counter to the idea of removing the Folder Tree. Someone who would prefer to organize mail with Seek instead of utilizing a hierarchal structure (folder tree) could simply leave all the mail in Inbox. Then Seek does not need to work across folders. So this option is available in Seek right now. No need to work for it. However, in workflows such as mine, the Folder Tree is essential. Maybe in time I will decide to eliminate it, but let the user make that decision. Another issue: Seek should automatically index a folder upon being opened. I am a heavy keyboard user. So I CTRL-K Seek open, but then I need to grab the mouse to have Seek index the folder. Large (2000+ messages) folders are scanned in about 10 seconds on my hardware (2 gHz dual core processor, 2 GB RAM), so a database that remembers the index is essential. You could rescan upon reentering a folder as per user preference: A) Full rescan each time (like now) B) Rescan only emails newer than X days C) If technically feasible, diff each message and update per changes (for instances in which a mail older than X days old was moved to a folder) D) Manual rescan now (in context menu of the Folder Tree) I see a lot of potential in Seek, and I would be more than happy to express my ideas and to bug test. I have thousands of email messages going back seven years, I receive tens of messages a day. I am quite a power user, and I can be a heavy test bed for your (and my own) needs. Side note: I understand that those involved with Seek are MIT students. I study at the Technion, Haifa, which considers itself to be an MIT peer university. I don't know if the feeling is mutual (stuckups!) but in any case, well, I though that you would like to know.
