Can I limit Mail search to one folder?
Sometimes I'd like to search the contents of just one Mail folder, but Mail search searches all the mail. Can I limit it to one folder? Sorry if this is obvious and I overlooked it.

When you start a search field, the Favorites bar should appear if you don't have it shown always. You can select the mailbox to search from there. If one isn't on the Favorite bar, drag that mailbox to the bar to show it there.
To always show Favorites bar, click View in the menu, then Show Favorites Bar.
You can also select and highlight the mailbox in the sidebar you want to search, then enter criteria in the search field.
