I finally migrated from Eudora!! I can see all the email (I think) in the relevant folders but can't find a method of actually completing a global search which includes all these folders. Any ideas please

Chosen solution

Global Search (Ctrl+K) must be enabled in Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Adv. Config. Another way is to right-click Local Folders (or any folder) in the Folder Pane, Search Messages... and check the box 'Search subfolders'.

Global Search (Ctrl+K) must be enabled in Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Adv. Config. was already set but once I enabled the floder pane view in layout it appears to have started to work correctly! Many thanks
