One could work with a real "Search results" folder. (an ineffective workaround, but better let the computer do some ineffective work than the user) I just tried: Created an Folder "Search results", after the search copied the selected messages there worked on them deleted them If there were some nice keyboard shortcuts for these actions, I could live with this approach. !! However, the current message stays selected after a search as well and will turn up in the Search results buffer also if it doesnot match the search !! > HG> So, how is the search operation intended to be used? > > You manually go to each of the messages. Terribly user-friendly, I know. Also annoying: if I go to one message and back to the folder, the selection is lost and I have to invoce the search once again :-( > So this is definitely something which must be improved but I have some > doubts that it can happen very soon. Maybe the workaround with a real folder is easier to implement and could save us a lot of hazzle while waiting for a proper solution...
