It seems according to IMAPrev4 the SEARCH command only works in the currently selected mailbox, so this is primarily a restriction in the IMAP protocol. Of course, one could extend nnir to select several mailboxes, do a SEARCH in each of them and then combine the results. BTW, for people using Dovecot: version 1.2 (still in beta) has a new "virtual mailbox" extension which looks pretty interesting for this kind of stuff: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual -David
