You can't search mail content of ALL folders.

You can search mail content of only one folder at a time.

Example:

You get the "Message" option greyed out, if you try searching in "All inboxes":

Can't search in "<code>All inboxes</code>"

You can search individual inbox as follows:

Can search in an inbox

Then click on this "Message" in "Find".

You will get following:

    I can search the word in mail subject or sender/receiver of a mail easily as:

    Searching sender/subject in WLM

    But, I want to search a word in mail content.

    I tried following:

    Search content

    But the "Message" option greyed out!

    Why? How to search content?

      Just FYI... I found the search capabilities of all mail-clients severely lacking. If you like a flexible search you might try a third party program like the free (for personal use) MailStore Home.
