Title:
  Upgrade to Thunderbird 3 breaks Mail Search Function

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Hi,

  Upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 enforced the upgrade to Thunderbird 3, which
  comes with a questionable tabbing design, breaking important features
  of older Thunderbird versions.

  With older Thunderbirds, you could simpy enter a search string.
  Thunderbird then displayed the matching messages in the message list.
  You could then select them all and, e.g., move them into a folder.
  This allowed to rapidly sort and cleanup mailboxes and was very
  usefull.

  Now with Thunderbird 3, when you enter a search string, it opens a
  separate Tab, which requires to change the view to get the results.
  Even worse, you cannot select these messages in any way, they are
  blown up from one line to 5-6, require scrolling and paging, and there
  is no way to process them together.

  The Upgrade to Thunderbird 3 breaks really important features of the
  older version.
