Can you do a "Search" of the Sent files Folder?
My set file list is huge 100's of messages I want to go back and find some messages with some data in them, but I don't remember when, to whom, or the title of the messages. It was a while back. I'm not goofy (well a little bit, maybe) - it is just that I never thought I'd be wanting that data ever again. Can I run a search thru the "Sent Files" folder somehow looking for certain keywords?

(Subject or Sender contains _) I don't think there's any way to search the body of an email. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It will take some work on your part to set this up in your mail account. To guide you along select your account sent folder, then select the View drop down box and from that menu select "Customize". On the Customize dialog box click the Help button and read all about creating a custom view and how to search within that view. You can search the message body for the phrase you need. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

If you are not already viewing the Search Messages dialog box, begin from the Mail window: 1. Open the Tools menu and choose Search Messages. You see the Search Messages dialog box. 2. Next to Search for messages in, choose the account, newsgroup, or folder through which you want to search. 3. Select Search subfolders to include all subfolders in the search. 4. Select Search local system to search only messages from newsgroups or IMAP accounts that have been saved locally. Note: The checkbox will be disabled if it's not possible to search remotely stored messages. 5. Select which matching option Mail & Newsgroups will use to search for messages that match all or at least one of the conditions (criteria) that you choose. 6. Use the drop-down lists to indicate the search criteria (for example, Subject and contains) and then type the text or phrase that you want to match. -- Ed -- All spam is reported via SpamCop All mail is checked by avast!

Sorry, I forgot to specifically-mention preselecting "search local system". Just correcting my error: Message-search will search news-server message-bodies, if the server permits such searches (None of the newsgroups I use, permit these searches) Many useful headers are not in the default options. Info from SM Help enlarges on this:-- "Tip: To search for messages that contain a header not listed in the first drop-down menu (for example, if you want to search for messages that include the header Resent-From), choose Customize and type the header you want to search for. SeaMonkey Mail & Newsgroups adds your custom header to the drop-down list, so you can then choose it to search for matching entries. Make sure you enter the custom header correctly, since Mail will only find entries that exactly match what you type."
