Just need to vent and see if anyone else feels my pain here. Why is Apple Mail's search function still so bad? I mean, we've seen tons of updates over the years, but when it comes to finding an old email, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.
I use Outlook at work and it's a dream. I can find anything I need in seconds, no matter how old. But with Apple Mail? Forget it. Half the time, I end up thinking I've deleted something important because Mail just can't seem to find it. But it's not just me being clumsy with the delete button – Apple Mail’s search is just not up to snuff.
Apple engineers please have nothing on the horizon!

For a variety of reasons I’m currently juggling 7 email accounts, so while Mail has a lot of flaws this would be a game changer for me. I used to use Spark and it did it perfectly, but the privacy/anti-tracking features of the Mail app lured me over, and while that part is great, it’s just so lacking in features that it’s a chore.

Just give me color-coded inboxes and I’d be happy :(
