Do these plugins exist? If not, please make them, I need them!

1) The plugin lets you make filters for all mailboxes and folders, or for any selection of them, rather than for just a single folder/mailbox. Some things I filter for may arrive in any of several mailboxes, depending on the address I used, and it's a drag to create the same filter for each of them.

2) The plugin lets you search in specific mailboxes or folders, or for any selection of them, without having to wade through masses of irrelevant results from other folders.

3) The plugin shows you, in search results, what folder each email is in. Currently, when I do a search, each folder containing any results is on the list showing how many results it contains, and if I click on it I can see those results, but that's not the same - and it goes away when the results are shown as a list.

Thank you.

1) There's no option to define global filters, but the filter file msgFilterRules.dat can be copied between accounts, which is usually much faster than creating them for each account.

2) File/New/Saved Search... and choose the desired folders.

3) Classic Search (Ctrl+Shift+F) is per account, but the Location (folder) column can be displayed in the results.
