when searching for a particular whatever, the results to the right include a preview of each email. I sorely need a view as in a normal folder, IE, a list of subject/sender/data/data/location with a normal preview of the selected file below. Is this possible?

Please say yes & thank you in advance!

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

"Not initially, but click the show as list in the middle of the top of the preview list to get what you want."

Ok, that would be the "open email as list" text (which does _not_ show as a button) on the top line of the results page. Cool. Clicking, it opened a new tab with the results. I then needed to right click on on the columns shown (sender/date etc) to add 'location' which added the containing folder to the items shown.

Hope that clarifies for you too, Gnospen. - FWIW, I'm using version 24.3.0

Thanks, Matt.

If I can figure out how, I'll mark this one solved.

Hidden in plain sight. Took me more than one look back when it was first introduced.

The initial screen is HTML and what we would call a normal list is XUL. The two can not co exist in the same pane is my understanding, so you have to make that first step so that the refinements can be used before going to the list itself.
