Getting searches in a normal list (as in your inbox)
When I do a search in Thunderbird it comes up with options on the name and when you click on the particular name it produces a clunky list of emails that you cannot drag anywhere. Is there a way of having the list just appear as emails normally do in your inbox so that you can simply drag one or some or all of them into folders etc? The clunky list is useful to identify an individual email but it is not useful for collecting a load of emails together and dragging all or some of them into folders. In Apple's Mavericks Mail App this is a doddle but Thunderbird seems to have overcomplicated it.

'Edit' > 'Find' > 'Search Messages'
- Search messages for: eg: specify the account
- Enter condition eg: Subject contains Birthday
- click on 'Search' button
a list of matches will be created in the lower section.
Highlight an email or select various (Ctrl+ click on emails) or highlight all (click on first email then Ctrl+A).
At the bottom you have some choices.
eg:You could choose 'Move to' and select the account and folder
Hi,
Thanks, that has some help but I do not have a 'move to' at the bottom in a search as you describe. What I have noticed though is tha doing a search the way that yo udescrib actually opens another box which overlays my Thunderbird so, I can move that box over to the right and then drag emails into my folders which is a lot easier.
What I really want to find though is a way of doing a search from the emails just like a Mac Mail search. Your search is done in any folder e.g. Inbox and when you search the emails comes up in a straight list with the folders still on the left so that you can just drag anything into a folder or hold down control and left click and see a whole list of things you can do like move to, send again etc.
Thunderbird seems to have made this sort of search far less usable than the Mac Mail one.
