You can search on any email header by using ctrl-u G G which first prompts for the query string and then the header to search in. So to search for a Message-ID try C-u G G <87d3ig2qcf.fsf@yun.yagibdah.de> RET Message-ID RET Alternatively if you know the imap search syntax you can use a raw imap search (this is what Tassilo originally suggested) C-u G G HEADER Message-ID <87d3ig2qcf.fsf@yun.yagibdah.de> RET imap RET If you want to make raw imap searching the default you can follow Vegard's suggestion Vegard> I do this: (setq nnir-imap-default-search-key "Imap") although I think that as of a few months ago "Imap" should be lower all case. Finally note that you should be able to search all the groups under a single topic executing the search with the the cursor on the topic line This would avoid having to mark a bunch of groups. Andy
