Search finds messages, but how do I know what folder the message is in?
New to TB from Eudora. I like TB.
Playing around with searching, both using the box within TB as well as Windows Search. Either way I get results - slightly different but that's okay. But using both methods, when I've found the message that interests me, I can't determine the TB folder in which the message resides. Is there a way to do this?

have a look at the space being consumed by the mozmsg files and then decide if windows search is really worth it. I got rid of gigabytes of those files around 80 thousand of them. I thought it was more baggage than it was worth. What suprised me was that turn off the windows search option did not remove the files.
But to your question. When you have the returned list in front of you. In the middle at the top, hidden in plain sight, is the show as a list option. Once you have them in a list you can click the widget at the end of the heading row and select folder. (unfortunately it does not save.)
You might like the search under Ctrl+Shift+F as well. Those can be saved as "virtual folders"
