Searching multiple accounts

Hello,
I switched sometime ago from Outlook Express to Live Mail.
In OE it was possible to search for an email message in multiple
accounts. As far as i can see this is not possible in (live) mail.
Does have somebody a suggestion how i can search in multiple accounts
(~6) at once?
(Note MS advises to us Desktop Search but i do not want to do this
because i use Copernic (Copernic can search OE multiple accounts and
identities but not in (live) Mail).
I hope somebody has a suggestion.

Re: Searching multiple accounts

You could search the EML files at the operating system level. For the
location of the files, look at Tools, Options, Advanced, Maintenance,
Store Folder.

The normal Windows Search can search these as text files. But you'll
only be able to search for a simple string, not by field. If multiple
messages are found, the file names won't be meaningful, but if you
double click a found EML file it will open in a WLM message reading
window.

If your Copernic search understands EML files, it may be able to do a
more meaningful search.
