Hi! Sorry for not providing enough info to start with. I have pasted a header below (slightly modified for privacy). I wanted to find all mails coming from the sender of this one. I used "search from:Doe" and search "from:doe" and got only 3/4 of the expected hits (I checked with Thunderbird). I then tried "search Doe" and "search doe", this message was not found either. Using mutt when I applied a "limit Doe" or "limit doe", the message was found. Thanks for having a look!
