If you're looking at a large email and want to find a particular part of it, you can use the <quote>Find in current message...</quote> item of the <quote>Edit</quote> menu. This works like search in a text document.

- The last way of searching for emails is using Quick Search, which you can display or hide using the little magnifying glass under the message list. It's also accessible from the <quote>Quick Search</quote> item of the <quote>Edit</quote> menu. Quick Search is more powerful than the normal search as it can search in standard headers (From, To, Subject) or in <quote>Extended</quote> mode using just about any criteria you can think of. When in <quote>Extended</quote> mode, the <quote>Extended symbols</quote> button is visible, enabling you to see the search syntax. A <quote>...</quote> button is also available which allows you to quickly create a rule. You can also configure the Quick Search to search recursively through the subfolders, and whether it should reset itself when you change folders.

- When you hit Enter after having specified the search string, the message list will shrink to present you with only the matching messages. If you set the search to be recursive, any subfolder of the current one that has matching emails will change its icon to a magnifying glass icon. This way, you can search in your whole mailbox at once. If the search is in Sticky mode, the filter will stay applied when you go to another folder. This can be disturbing at first, as you can forget about it, but is useful in some cases, for example if you want to search in the body of emails and are not sure of which folder contains the searched email: a recursive search on the body of emails in a whole mailbox can be really slow.
