Not quite.

It literally goes to the very first message in my inbox for the account 
that I started the search from - it doesn't stay on the old message that 
I found in the search, it re-selects the very first (oldest) message in 
the mailbox that (likely) has nothing to do with the search.

Example:

Select Inbox for Home account.
See most recent message at top.
Click on most recent message to display.
Now type "/ f wilbur"

All messages from wilbur are now displayed.

I scroll to one, select it, display it.

Now I hit escape.

I'm back at the Home inbox, but, MailMate is showing a message from 
Belinda, which happens to be the very first message (oldest) in the 
Inbox.

The situation you describe was the old situation that I was happy with, 
but for the last week whenever I leave a search I'm taken to the oldest 
message in the inbox, if I was in the inbox when I started the search.
