Search in Vista Winmail restricted to one level?

Hi,

recently I started to using the Search function in Winmail.
It will find me any message from say my crowded Inbox or Deleted allright.

However, I have organized my correspondence read/written mails in folders, alphabetically and hierarchicly in max. 4 levels like so


EBAY

......Buying
................Perfume
...........................Chanel
.......................................Itemnumber 12345
......Selling
...............Cars
..........................Toyota
.....................................Corolla etc.

Somehow the Search cannot find any items below the EBAY folderlevel.

I was hoping it could find items within the subsequent folders.

Is this a wrong assumption?

Vista SearchIndexing is on and works fine on non-email files.
Settings include C: UserME which holds all Winmail files & folders under AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail

However, drilling down into the settings window the AppData\Local\LocalLow\Roaming Tree shows up grey both under Default and UserME, though all ticked ON.
Is that right?

I have UAC deliberately OFF.

How can I make Search to work through all levels of Winmail folders?

Confused,

Maria

The search bar in the upper right only searches a single level. To search multiple levels, use Edit | Find and check the box to include subfolders on that form.
