I have 30+ named Mailboxes 'nested' under my main 'Inbox', each one for a particular subject and this is my filing system which works well for me.

When I want to search for a previously received email filed 'somewhere' in one of these Mailboxes I enter the term in 'Search' (usually at the top-level 'Inbox') and will get an immediate result of exactly the email message that I am looking for - BUT I can not find the name of the Mailbox in which this email is 'filed'. Is there a way of seeing this info - or am I missing something obvious?

Hello,

If you change the Search location to All, when the emails found in the search are displayed, it should show the mailbox in the upper right corner of the email just under the date:

Do you see that?
