    Hi dwolf:

    You did not post your steps, so I do not know the drop-down menu that
    you are using. I do not use any menus when I search for a message.
    Here are my steps in build 1606.

    1) I highlight the 'All e-mails' folder in the accounts pane (under
    'Quick views') in WLM's main window

    2) I hit CTRL+E

    3) I type the character string for which I search

    Re: find a message problem

    That should not matter.. that search window in any email view has the option
    to search all emails and I have sent the picture of.

    I have used this way of searching in all the versions till now

    Re: find a message problem

    Hi dwolf:

    Both of the photos look the same to me.

    I do not have that button on any WLM toolbars, and it's not an
    available customization, so I do not recognize your screenshot.

    search all email it is suppose to give me results from all of my email
    folders.... ALL

    Re: find a message problem

    Hey dwolf:
    I just got it! You don't need the Edit - Find message [Ctrl Shift F] to search for e-mail messages. [Mine seems to be grayed out most of the time in Quick views which is probably another bug, of many in Quick views. When you do get the search pane if you first select an e-mail account or folder, it takes two Find Now tries to actually find anything, which may also be another new bug]. Just below the tool bar or near the top of the page should be a box with 'Find a message' in it. If you enter your search letter, word or phrase in it, the message headers for the messages with matches will show in the message header pane.
    However, you can probably use the Edit - Find - Message if you hit Find Now twice, it does have a lot more options in the find pane.

    We also need the Operating System you're running. The quick views broke as soon as I started using the latest release. Most of my quick views only show the latest few days activity, all others don't show up and "Find a message" WONT! Here is a link to similar problems:
    <news:62DFA7BE-F505-468D-8C0E-CF6CA1398694@xxxxxx>
    You should be able to 'Find a message' in the newsgroup mode.

    Thanks, Mike - Windows XP Pro SP2 WLM 12.0.1606.1023
