How do I search for a specific folder in Thunderbird?


For example if I want to search for a folder that might have the name DDC-Benefits or part of it ?


Also is the wild cards that could be used if I don't remember the name of the folder for example if could I do like *dc* (the * would be the wild card character)


Thanks in advance.

The search feature is for messages, not for folders.
