Well, I am using PMMail for OS/2, so I do not see exactly the same
thing you do.  BUT, using the Right-Click, I get the 'Search Messages'
dialog with the folder that I clicked on in the 'Look In' field.  There
is a check box to indicate if the search is to look in all lower level
subdirectories.

Ctrl-F [and this is the same as the Tools menu item] is the way to
search the entire account.  In fact, this is the ONLY way to go right
to the search of the whole account.  [Right clicking on the account
folder does not give a Find/Search menu item.  I rather wish it did.]

worlds.  Think of it as two different tools that just happen to have
the same starting dialog box.
