Improve Search
Can I really not search for messages sent by or received from someone?
Honestly, search is so weak, the only way to do it is use Bridge and a client like Thunderbird with a decent search engine. Then why use the webmail client at all? Also, content search is frankly useless as the content repeatedly disappears and needs another glacial re-indexing. I know there's a bandwidth overhead with this, but some of us are paying for just that!

I have the "Search message content" enabled and message content indexed; however, the search feature is still unreliable -- it misses emails with content including the search words that have been cut and pasted directly from emails. Reliable search is a critical and essential feature of any decent email service.

Here are some additional recommendations for improvements to search:
In "More search options":
- Add a "Email Subject" filter field that uses freeform text
- Add a "Email Body" or "Email Content" filter field that uses freeform text
- Add a "Has attachment" filter field that uses boolean operators
- Add a "Attachment Type" filter field that uses either drop down with predetermined options or freeform text -

Yes. I have v1.0.6 on Mac OS and even though there is a feature to "search for keywords in the body of email messages", this is not the case. The search will only search titles and email addresses.
Either the option/ "feature" should be removed or it should actually work. The latter would be great as it is a basic feature of email clients.
