Hi,
Very interesting bug report. I'm a Thunderbird convert from Outlook and now I'm
trying to go back to KDE with Kmail2 on the right track.  I'm a heavy mail user
for work, emails on Exchange, i'm connecting with IMAP to my exchange server. I
receive 150+ emails a day on many different subjects and people.

In Outlook and also in Thunderbird, I ue exactly what Johannes mentioned. It's
built-in to  Outlook if you have Windows Search and for Thunderbird, you need
to install "GmailUI/ExpressionSearch" addon. Then in the search line (bar), you
can just say:

from:aaaa subject:bbb
and you get related emails listed right below. If you need a specific string,
you can do "my specific string" type of query, while if you want only mails
which contain all of them to appear, you just type word1 word2 word3.
In Thunderbird, you can choose in the buttons just below search box if you want
this search to be on the "subject" and/or "body" and/or "from" and/or "to".
This is also nice when you want to limit things.

Laurent, do you think such search expression is possible to implement?  I use
this like 40-50 times a day maybe more and I'm suffering also from what
Johannes mentioned, opening the "advanced search" window and doing search there
by selecting search fields & search strings is too much time consuming.

I see this bug report is "resolved fixed". Shall I open new bug report?
