Once the bug is set RESOLVED, the bug is completely removed from my bugs. I wanted to keep a track of the number of issues resolved. How could I see it and get back all in one list?
After a bug is resolved in bugzilla, I don't find the bug existing anymore. How could I access it?

Actually my BzDeck app [1] had the same issue. It was showing My Bugs in the main Inbox thread pane, the core feature of the app, but bugs would suddenly disappear when it's been RESOLVED. My solution was adding a selector to display all/open/closed bugs [2].
There are two different scenarios:
- People usually would like to focus on open bugs (bug if they are involved in too many bugs, the My Bugs list could be very long), however,
- People sometimes continue discussing on closed bugs (on BMO, RESOLVED FIXED for Firefox bugs only means the patch has been committed to the source code repository)
Given that, a better, possible solution would be:
- Distinguish clearly open bugs from closed bugs like GitHub issues (this applies to the all UI on Bugzilla; GitHub issues use green and red icons for this purpose [3])
- Provide a selector like BzDeck to switch between all/open/closed bugs, showing all bugs by default
- Load/show the bug list lazily to improve performance
As mentioned, My Bugs was the core of BzDeck as well as another experimental Bugzilla client called Buggy [4], and I believe Bugzilla should also implement the same thread sidebar so people can go though their bugs much faster.
When you are using the quick search, ALL is your friend, this word has to be typed at the very beginning of the input line and overrides the status criterion (as can be found in: Examples of Simple Queries).
BTW: Bugzilla's quick search can also be added to the Browser's search engines and combined with a keyword also within its address bar. (confirmed for Firefox and Edge)
I warmly recommend the 5½-minute summary in Bugzilla Quicksearch will BLOW YOUR MIND on YouTube.
