Missing features in search GUI

[Urpo Kaila]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Hi,

I would like to request for a couple of features in search GUI in
Thunderbird (I am currently using version 2.0.0.6 (20071022) Ubuntu package,
but I do also use the 2.0 Windows version)). Perhaps you have already thought
about these in new versions?

1. The "search all of the following " should be default, instead of "match any"

Reason: You get typically way too many hits when you combine
two criteria in a search. I almost allways do need to change it to "all of the following"

2. There should be a button "Start search" and "Stop search"

Reason: It is unclear to start the search with enter. How can you stop the search
when you have typed en error or entered bad search terms?

3. Problems with missing folders

Reason:
I sometimes get a lot of error messages about missing IMAP folders which could
not be searched. The GUI doesn't tell the name of the noexistent folder.
The invalid folders might have been subscribed with IMAP web mail, but
an error message about them is not relevant,

4. Search indicator

It would be great to see how the search is proceeding: how many
messages have been searched and is possible, how many are left.

Many thanks for a great work with a the best and free email client in the world!

Cheers,

Urpo
