Search for mailboxes in email

Hello,

I have a new MacBook Air with Tahoe 26.x. I backed up my old MacBook Pro with Time Machine and restored it to my new MacBook Air.

When I search for a specific mailbox with the same name as the search query in my email, I see the emails related to the mailbox name, but the mailbox itself doesn't appear in the search results. I do see it on my old MacBook Pro with BigSur.

What's going on?

Thanks in advance.

If you are using the Column Layout for search results, right-click the column headers and add the Mailbox field.

Hello,

Thanks for your quick response, but I don't quite understand what you mean.

See the screenshot so you can see what my problem is.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
