Description Sean Middleditch 2001-10-05 15:05:46 UTC 
The message list search is rather confusing.  While certainly convenient, I
constantly forget that it is even there.  I usually search in the edit or
the actions menu for the Search for Message features.  Yes, it probably
just means that I'm stupid, but there really should be an option in the
Actions menu to show a seperate message list dialog.  Also, there should be
an option to remove the embedded message search bar in the message list,
for users who want more screen real-estate dedicated to the message list.

still in 2.0.3. although i personally want this to be a WONTFIX, an 
option in "View" with a checkbox for "Show search bar" would be nice 
for people running low resolutions.
removing probabledup keyword since i'm very sure this isn't one.

Apologies for any spam... cc'ing usability-maint on all Evolution usability

Comment 7 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:44:44 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. 
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
