In Evolution 3.26.1, there is a drop down list of options for "Include
threads:" when configuring a Search Folder, but I'm not clear on what
effect any of the included settings have, and I can't find it
documented in the official documentation. Could someone explain what
this option does?

I'll give an example to motivate this question: I tried to create a search 
folder that would display all of the messages in my inbox, as well as any 
related  messages such as replies or messages in other folders, grouped 
together in threads.  Basically a "conversations" folder that would mimic how 
Gmail (in the browser) handles the inbox.  I configured the search folder with 
the following settings:

Find items which match: any of the following conditions
Message location: is <account>/Inbox
Automatically update on any source folder change (checked)
Search folder sources: All local and active remote folders

I guess my expectation was that selecting "Include threads: All related" would 
create the kind of conversations folder I described above, but changing this 
option from "None" doesn't seem to have any effect and all I see are messages 
which are actually in the inbox.  This 100% makese sense choosing "None", but 
is what I'm describing the reason for the "Include threads" option in the first 
place or am I way off?

Thanks,
Paul
