Smart group with database constraints

Hi Folks:

I have select emails stored in various databases. I also have one database that use as an archive for vastly more email than I stash around in more task specific contexts.

I want a smart group to identify emails in any open database except the archive database. As far as I understand there is no way to create a rule which says:

  1. kind is email
  2. item is not duplicated
  3. database/location is not my_archive_database

Are there ways to provide something like the 3rd constraint in my scenario?

Thanks

Not unless (1) the database isn’t open or (2) you’ve excluded the parent email group from searching. The latter obviously affects searching in that database as well.
