It seems a lot of effort to tie in specific actions with having to create a filter. Specifically, if we have to delete all these messages, we have to create a filter.

Why not create an option in the search that will highlight all the messages in the folder? Then one can take care of it in whatever way (move to a folder, delete, etc) is usually done?

I believe that this is possible in claws-mail. Is this possible in sylpheed?

Many thanks again!
