The Bottom Line
Rocketbox finds emails with blasting speed and some comfort in all your Mac OS X Mail accounts.
You can restrict results and filter some, but Rocketbox's interface could integrate with Mail more tightly and come with richer, more functional previews.
Rocketbox is no longer actively developed.
