Exactly how does the From Contains search work?

tbatst

Using Entourage 2004.

I daily do a search in my Sent and Deleted Items folder, using the
To/From Contains field in the upper right corner.

Works great, except for emails that have multiple addresses, or groups.


Is there any way to set up Entourage so that if I do a search for email
sent to Tom Smith (in the Sent folder), *all* the emails sent to him
will show up, including the ones where he's a part of a Group I've set
up, as well emails sent to multiple people, including Tom.

Or does To Contains only search for the first name in any email?
What's the way around this?

thanks as always! A great group, this.

Click to expand...

Do an Advanced Find (opt-cmd-F). That should find them. You can also search
for the email address, not just the display name, if you wish, with Advanced
Find. As a shortcut, select one message from Tom before pressing opt-cmd-F.
Then the From popup will automatically display his email address in the
search field.
