EVERYBODY GETS A PONY!

Pony Request: a search function for MeMail. We're able to search our activity and favorites, and I'd love to be able to do the same for MeMail. I know MeMail isn't meant to replicate the features of services like Gmail, but I think this particular function would be really useful.

There should be a search function in the tabs on your mail page. Tabs are: Your Inbox; Your Sent Mail; Your Contacts; Search.

No problemo. And the keys are behind the couch.

This would be a great feature if I actually got more memail than the autoresponder about your post or ask being live and the follow-up one month later asking if it was resolved.

Taz, while you're at it, I haven't seen my camera in a few weeks...

The pony was there ALL THE TIME.

The other obvious answer is to set MeMail to forward to your profile email and do you searching in your browser or email client.

You get lots of email?! I get hardly any. Only person who MetaFilter-mails me on a regular basis is this mathowie guy, who must be watching me or something as he persistently emails me as soon as I post something with details about it. Yeah, I KNOW dude - just posted it! Sheesh.

If you want memail, why not mail someone? They reply, and then you got memail. Easy peasy.

Is a restraining order memail? Then yeah I guess that works.
