How can I find out the folder than an email is in
Hi,
It does not seem to be intuitive for me to do the following :-
I search for emails from a certain person. The 'finds' are displayed in the results pane - but there is no way I can tell where the emails are in my mail folders.
This feature needs improvement, because it is not obvious at all how to find the email's location that search results refer to.

Complaints similar to yours have been voiced for years, e.g.:

so, in the meantime, workarounds such as the one I suggested may be the best option.

Thanks, for your reply. I'm after a faster easier solution
I noticed search is not a search option when you right mouse click on inbox - what the?
Wouldn't it be nicer is search results using the search box on the top right of the "home screen" gave results that are formatted in a better way - to let me know the location of the e-mails found. After reading about Steve Jobs I imagine he'd have a fit using Thunderbird - its not as fast or easy as it could be.
When I use the box on the top right of the home screen, and get a new tab with results, the SUBJECT of each result becomes a button that can open the e-mail, which when clicked then displays a multi level tree of the "conversation" - nice - but where the hell are those emails!!! Where is the location information? At the least , why not add a right click option RIGHT HERE to "OPEN IN FOLDER" ?
Thanks
