How do I search messages in a folder?
On the mailbox screen, you can quickly search
for messages whose 'subject' or 'from' address contains
a particular string by entering the string into the text
box and clicking search.
To perform an advanced search, leave the text box blank, and click the
'Advanced' button, this will take you to the advanced search screen.

How do I specify custom criteria to search on?

Messages that contain the specified string in the body of the message.
- CC <string>
Messages that contain the specified string in the envelope structure's CC field.

How do I save a search?
Enter the search criteria you want on the Advanced search screen,
then down the bottom enter a name you want to give the search in
the "Save search" section, then click the "Save" button.
You can then access this saved search from the Advanced screen
in the future, or you can access it quickly from the "Action" menu at the
top left of the Mailbox screen.
