Did yours go through an update dialog when you first started it? And did you pick the 'sync' option for the account? After doing that, mine has 'body' in the search, and you can enter text in the search window in the toolbar and pick 'messages mentioning: (which will only appear if there are matches). If it is an imap account and you don't pick sync, it only downloads the headers until you read a message. Maybe non-imap accounts are different. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
