So it sounds like the hooks are there, just not enough manpower to implement it and no definitive plans to do so yet. As for me codding/experimenting. I'm a hardware designer. Last time I let a software person work on my hardware I had a smoked laptop and JTAG adapter. You don't even what to know what happens if you try to unleash a hardware person on software ;-) Rule #16387 of engineering. Never let a hardware developer write code, especially if they think they can. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

One of the biggest things keeping my from finally ditching Eudora as my primary e-mail source for SM is the amazing search capabilities in Eudora verses the lacking search abilities in SM and Thunderbird 2.x (I have no experience with Thunderbird 3.x). I was holding out for Eudora 8.x but three years into the project they are still don't have a 1.0 release. Given this I'm wondering if Seamonkey will have any relief in sight. I haven't used the Advanced options available, if you click the button next to the regular search box, if you have tried it, what is not available that you are looking for? bj ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Those features have not changed since SM1.x days and are similar to thunderbird 2.x. Thunderbird 3 touted a totally redesigned and improved search capability. I have not yet been able to try them. I am looking for more complex search with more control over multiple keywords, folders searched, relevance, areas of e-mail to search etc. Eudora had all this ability, seamonkey does not. when your looking though over 10 years of e-mail from several addresses and companies the existing tools are not complex enough for me right now. Looking here http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/features/#tabs-search and other places I have looked makes it look like Thunderbird has some more advanced features they rolled in. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
