Searching for an email by sender's address

2013-04-27 Thread John Niendorf 

Hi Guys,

How do you guys search for all messages from a particular sender?
When I do a search, it picks up words from the subject by ignores the sender's 
(or recipient's) address.

Try '~f'.  So limit, then `~f name`.

I prefer grepmail.  It's its own .deb in Wheezy, or
http://grepmail.sourceforge.net/

One option is to use the sort o function.

Thanks Tim,

That seems to work pretty well.
