Moving the Mail folder

In the past (under Snow Leopard) I was able to create a sym link at ~/Library/Mail and keep the actual Mail folder on an encrypted diskimage.
I am trying to do something similar now on El Capitan but I seem to have lost the ability to perform searches on imported mailboxes from within Mail.app.
In my tests, the same imports are searchable from within Mail if I leave the Mail directory in the Library.
I'm pretty sure I didn't have this inability to search under Snow Leopard when I had the Mail folder living on an encrypted .dmg.

Any ideas?
