Would be great if I could do something to a group of email results. For instance, I get spam (that I read, so it's actually Ham) from some online etailers. I am too lazy to make a folder for them (I already have a lot of them) and peridoically I clean up my archives by searching for say "etronics" and delete them all from the mail results pane of X1. Would love to be able to do this on xobni.

It would also be good to have the full menu from the Mail: view (which has the buttons like reply, reply all, forward, open, etc) be a context menu from the search results, including delete please :)

Thanks

I receive batches of emails that number in the thousands as error reporting from web applications my company develops. What I really need is to be able to perform a complex search to filter out irrelevant emails and delete them.

For instance if I have 1000 emails in my inbox, and 500 of them contain the following text:

Line: 41
Character: 6
Requested File: <this part is variable>
Error Message: False Positive Error
Details <variable>

I need to be able to search on the following criteria:

Email contains text "Line: 41"
AND
Email contains text "Character: 6"
AND
Email contains text "Error Message: False Positive Error"

And then delete all of those emails contained in the search results.

I can perform complex searches like this in Outlook's "Advanced Search" pane, with the exception that with each additional "Email contains text" that I add, it appends the criteria to the filter as an "OR" operation, so it incorrectly returns MORE search results with LESS accuracy.
