Any way to index and/or include Local Folders emails in conversation threads?

In an effort to declutter my Inbox(es) i've started archiving emails to a Local Folder. Problem is, when I search for messages, emails in the Local Folder don't seem to come up.

Additionally, if I find an email thread in my IMAP inbox, and select 'Open message in conversion', then any messages moved to the Local Folder aren't included in the conversation thread. Any way to get this working?

re :Problem is, when I search for messages, emails in the Local Folder don't seem to come up.

What search method are you using? I'm presuming 'Global Search' and not 'Quick Filter Bar' and not 'Find' > 'Search Messages'

Maybe the global search database has got out synch. Try rebuilding it:

Reporter,

If you move a single message at a time, do you see the same problem? In other words, does moving multiple messages have a different result than moving a single message?
