Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Search is always specific to the selected mailbox. Sub mailboxes are not searched.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the archive folder, I create a subfolder for each archive year. For my use cases, it would be helpful if I could integrate sub-mailboxes into a search query (search with/without sub-mailboxes). This could also be helpful for users who structure their inboxes with subfolders.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Search is always specific to the selected mailbox with subfolder.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the selected-mailbox search flow and how archive subfolders are represented, then determine how an optional recursive-submailbox search should be exposed. Done means searches can explicitly include or exclude sub-mailboxes without changing the existing selected-mailbox behavior.
