--- Comment #29 from Maurice Batey <maurice at bcs.org.uk> ---
(Using KMail 4.8.2 on 64-bit Mageia-2 Cauldron, with Local Folders mapped onto
a 'maildir' email directory)

I was very happy with KMail 4.8.2, especially with it's handling of mapping
Local Folders onto an existing 'maildir' email directory...
.... until I tried 'Find Messages' (on a specified folder), that is.

At first all I got was the baffling error message:

"Cannot get search result. Unknown error. Only resources can modify
remote identifiers." 

Later on this stopped happening (with occasional relapses), but nevertheless
Find Messages usually fails to work at all, with no indication of progress and
no results, just saying 'Ready'.  No feedback whatsoever.

Sometimes it works well, e.g. searching on "that" in Subject in Sent-mail.
   Mostly it fails to find anything when I can see there are many occurrences
of the search string in the mail folder messages.

Please, can this function be made usable, so that we can continue to use this
otherwise excellent version of KMail?
