Not sure I follow what you mean by your question - I don't understand
your mail reading "workflow." FWIW, I have several folders set up in
Mac Mail. I use a sort filter to put all GESO and PESO tagged emails
into one folder, all other email from PDML into another folder. I read
the PDML folder with messages sorted by Date Received. When I find a
thread I want to follow, I change to a sort by Subject. If I read-and-
delete all in a thread, then switch back to Date Received order, it
does not take me back to where I was, but then it is a simple scroll
to get to the bottom, the most recent messages, and resume reading
linearly or by selecting another topic and going back to Subject.

I've been using mutt as my primary mail reader for 15 years, before

clients which had different search functions for going to the next
email which matches a criteria, and limiting the emails shown to
those that match a pattern.
When the mail server was moved to one that I can't log into quite as
easily, I started using the mac mail client. It isn't nearly as
intuitive as the text based programs and Mac help varies from bad to
counterproductive. I don't want to only show messages that match a
search pattern, I just want to go to the next message that matches a
search pattern, but I can't figure out how to do that on mac.
This list has so much traffic, I often only have time to follow
threads that I'm already actively taking part in, so I'll search for
my name, then scan the thread. But if I search for my name, go to
the email with it, then empty the search string, then I lose the
marking of where I am. Is there a mail client on the mac that'll let
me do this?
