Hi Hasso, Yeah, I noticed this yesterday too. And I also noticed that you can't search on the other built-in tags (like Important or To-do). So, confirmed. Important and todo are there in the list at least in my install. However I experienced several times that people don't realise that this dropdown to choose status flags has scrollbar. It's probably because this dropdown is too wide - strings occupy only tiny part of dropdown width and scrollbar in other end of dropdown remains unnoticed. I think we are mixing things up. For me: The Important, To-do, and custom tags are in all the quick search Status drop down. But the Important, To-do, and custom tags are not available as search criteria in the Find Messages search dialog (the one which is opened with "s"). I would also like to have the possibility to search for tagged mails using the search dialog. In http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38732 it says that one is able to search for the "status" of a message (and save this search as a folder) since KDE 3.2 (although I cannot confirm this for my Kmail right now, which is from 4.2 beta 2). I've tried to search for mails with some tags created for me but this is seems to be impossible, I can filter on "From", "To", and so on, but I can't choose to filter on tags... I said "seems" because (I don't know how) I found a way to do this, the "trick" is to write "<status>". There is an usability problem here because it should be possible to use tag information using the search interface without this kind of tricks. OK, I'm sorry but the "<status> trick" doesn't work for _custom_ tags, I thinked yes, at least it works for _standard_ tags, sorry for the SPAM. If you're at it, I noticed that searching for the mail address in the search bar (not with the full blown "s") does not work either. Say I have a friend with email tlr@example.org and I type "tlr" into the search bar, the results list is empty. If I expand the name as shown in the message list to "Timo Laurent Ruquier" it will find all the messages. As one can have many Joe Does with different mail addresses, it is far better to search with some snippet of the mail address. This is currently not possible. It worked in the past AFAIR.. Rigo, I believe the issue you mention is covered in: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99094 SVN commit 986207 by jarmond: Allow searching by tag. Created new RuleWidgetHandler for tags.
